I still think about Jimmy from time to time and when I do I always wind up with a big smile on my face. I remember all the comical things he would do and I also remember him drumming. I still play music to this day and I have been retired for the last 11years so music takes up most of my time.The thing about Jimmy was that he could openly and freely jam on anything that I could think of out of the air. I still don't play mainstream music and that was one of the things I loved about playing with Jimmy. I wish he could sit in with me from time to time but then I guess he probably has. Don't be sad about Jimmy because he rarely was and I'll bet you he still is as happy as he ever was.

Jimmy,
I flew over Boulder City, your final resting place this last week. I raised my cup of Starbucks in your memory and honor. It reminded me of our times drinking coffee together. How you would get as excited about brewing a fresh pot of coffee as I would! We sure do miss seeing you.

Jimmy,I struggled this past month missing you. You would have been 54. I can see in my mind your smile and rosey cheeks. I would love to give you one big hug and tell you how much I love you, but I guess I'll have to wait until it's my turn to meet Jesus. Thank you for blessing my life. Your big sis, Sheri

Thinking of Jimmy and the song, " I can only imagine," comes to mind. Jimmy does not need to imagine anymore, he is with Jesus in Heaven.

Jimmy,
How was your Christmas? You got to spend it with the one that Chritmas was created for. I can't even imagine how beautiful it was. You are missed but not forgotten. We went to your grave site to bring you some flowers. I know your soul is with God, as close as we could get is where your body lays. I'll bet it feels wonderful to be out of pain and be of sound mind. One day we will see you again, but until that day comes, know I love you.

My favorite memories of Jimmy were sitting on the basement steps listening to him play the drums in the dark to the blasting radio (of course he only did this when his mom and my dad went out) I don't think he ever knew that I would sit there and listen in the dark, I thought he was amazing. Now he's showing off for the angels. God bless!

I miss Jimmy's big beautiful eyes and his contagious smile!
Just looking at his picture right now!

Jimmy was my little brother and had an incredible memory for remembering names,events and places. Jimmy liked this certin brand of honey he use to eat in Toronto and years later when he was about 18 yrs. old and living in Detroit he had a craving for that delicious honey. He hopped in his car and drove to Toronto to get it. When I saw him the next day and asked where he went, he told me. I laughed and said, "only you would go to such lenghths to get some honey". So many fond memoris of Jimmy. I know with time the hurt will lesson and the memroies will ease my soul. I love you for ever little brother. Sheri

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I remember Jimmy while growing up on the Eastside of Detroit. I knew the family well and spent a lot of time there. Jimmy always was in a good mood and had a kind heart. Yes, he was a funny guy with a good sense of humor.He loved to play drums and practiced ALL the time. He was popular with the girls too and always had a girlfriend! My condolences to the family.

We send you our deepest sympathy on the loss of dear Jimmy.
I remember lots of summer adventures at Grandma's farm and the lake, with my siblings, Jimmy and his sisters. He was always entertaining and making us laugh with his silly antics.
He will be missed.
Love, Doris (Guttormson) and Clayton Bristow

Jimmy was a good friend,an x-brother-in-law, a fellow musician, a comedian, and a hell of a nice guy. He had quite a talent for seeing a personality in someone and imitating a comical side of them pretty acurately. He could usually cheer someone up really well. He never shyed away from helping anyone and would usually do it with a smile. I will always remember him as being one of the first good drummers I ever played with. I love him for the person he was and he will be missed by all who knew him.
September 9, 2009
Our heartfelt condolences to the entire family on the passing of cousin Jimmy. He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered.
It's not the amount of years in our life, but the life in our years.
Love & Hugs, Ed & Irene (nee Guttormson)

jimmy loved music,he had a gift of being able to pick up any instrument,drums trumpet,guitar,keyboards,you would rarely see him without headphones.
i know he is in heaven playing music
with the angles and friends.
jimmy had a great sense of humor,one day he was playing his drums in our basement and my mother brought clothes down to wash,jimmy thought it would be funny to shut the lights off and turn the strobe light on and watch her yell at him to turn the lights back on with the strobe going.it was pretty funny.
