Pastor James Joseph "Jimmy" Autry

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.

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.

Pastor Jimmy has truly been a Gift from our Heavenly Father not only to me and my family but, to every life he touched. He was such a kindhearted, compassionate, caring, loving person and had a gentle soul to all that knew him. We are all so blessed to have known him. You will truly be missed but always remembered in our hearts forever. I pray that God will cover Pastor Frances and all of the Autry Family with strength, hope, love and peace as they walk through this sorrowful time in their...
