To the Family of James "Jimmy" Givens
My prayers are with the family during this difficult time.
I met Jimmy at Trinity Baptist Church and he always has something funny to tell me. Jimmy use to come to DMV sometimes...when he found out that I worked there...he use to tell me...hey... I need you to give me a license to drive... I would say Jimmy what are you going to drive because every time I see you...you are walking...he would laugh and tell me that he was making sure I was paying attention and just not giving anyone a license.
I know Jimmy will be missed....you can alway expect to see Jimmy anywhere and at anytime
R.I.P. Jimmy

Mr Jimmy will truly be missed. Whenever I saw him he always had something funny to say, he had his own way of making your day bright. I'll miss calling a cab for him or giving him a ride home. His spirit can rest, and he share all his great jokes with the angels.

Jimmy has been my friend for over 30 years. He did not have a bad thing to say about anyone. He would lift your spirits if you were down. His humor was different from anyone that I have ever met in my life. I will truly miss him.
