Pastor James Joseph "Jimmy" Autry

Hello, this is Nurullah from Bangladesh, you were my host family during 2009-10 while I was with Tulane. I emailed you several times but no answer, Finally, got you here. Feeling so sad. We remember you and family. Respect.

Even though time and distance separated us through the years, I never forgot the sweet times we visited with Jimmy and Sherrill and their parents in Ashland when I was growing up. We are cousins even though we grew apart through the years. They were a good bit older than me but so sweet and kind whenever I visited with my grandparents, Vardie and Jessie Ford Graves. My parents were Billy Joe and Betty Autry Graves. We lived in the Gravestown community when I was growing up. I am sorry to hear...

There was truly no one on this earth like Jimmy Autry. He was a very loving light in the Body of Christ and to all who had the pleasure of getting to know him.

My prayers are with Pastor Autry´s Family and church Family. He was an example of God´s love. Continue to carry on this legacy and you shall see him again.

Its really gonna be different without YOU. Time came when YOU had to go. For the rest of my life I am gonna be thinking about YOU(Yes I am). I'll miss YOU my buddy, I'll miss YOU my Friend. I promise my love for YOU will never end, but there is a HIGHER Power that we answer to and YOU heard HIM calling YOUR name.. Really gonna miss YOU. GOD Bless the AUTRY Family.

My prayers are with your family. I´m thankful to have met his family at Sherrill´s funeral.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I went to school with Jimmy at Ashland High School. He was a fun person to be around. I am sorry for your loss.

I had the joy of meeting Brother Autry after Katrina when he so generously offered his church facility to the Jefferson Parish Adult Education program. After Katrina, we had no where to being the program again and Brother Autry was our shelter in the storm. I know Brother Autry is with our Lord now. My condolences to his family.
