Dear Donna and family: We share in your sorrow. We grew up with you and Jim as young marrieds and our children grew up together with Jimmy and Julie being the same age. The time when they were both 5 and we took them on a vacation to Fl. still sticks in my mind as I look at the pictures of the two of them always making faces and never being serious. What fun we had!! And Jimmy kept that fun til the end of life here on earth. And the dragstrip days we will always remember and Jimmy and his Dad never growing up from racing. WOW. We enjoyed Jimmys visits so much and of course Jim Cox and he would always play guitars and have a lot of fun. We will miss Jimmy's smiling face and love him always. You are all like family and we love you all. Love and hugs from Ludene and Jim

My brother was my very heart. I miss him so much I can hardly go forward. But i know that he wouldn't want me to cry and grieve and mourn over him for too long . . . so on behalf of my family - my Mom. my brother Jon, my sister Traci; Terri, Dick, Rick, John Michael, Taylor, JP, Nicky - we love you Jimmy. And we will see you again. And thank you Junior, for being there at the end. Like my brother Jon said, "We lost a brother, but we also gained one in you."
Jimmy, you're finally at peace.
Finally.
I love you.

What a guy! All who knew him loved him dearly. The services on Tuesday so portrayed the Jimmy I knew. All of the beautiful and heartfelt expressions by Jimmy's pastor has inspired me to live even closer to our Lord. I'm jealous because he is already walking on streets of gold but I know in my heart we will all be together soon. To Donna, Jon and each of the family members I know the loss is great and my continued prayers are with you. I, as you, will miss him greatly.

To the family of my good friend Jimmy Willhite. Thanks for 34 years of constant friendship. I will miss your great wit and humor, your extreme intelligence and all of the joy you brought to me. Those that were true friends of Jimmy were blessed to have known him and I'm sure that God welcomed you with open arms Jimmy and you were happy to see your Dad. I will miss you but will see you again. David Faust

To the Willhite Family; It was a great honor for me knowing Jimmy. The past several years we spent time together, each of us sharing some our deepest desires. He was a great friend. I will miss him very much. Approx 3 years ago Jimmy and I were together studying scriptures and after several sessions he ask me to Baptise him, being at his home at Taylor Rose we went to his pool and was baptised. He share his love for Jesus often with me.
