Dearest Cody, Cambia & Stephanie.. I DONT expect you to read this, it´s been many years since the passing of Jimmy Charles Carson, but I´d like to share my condolences regardless: he was an amazing soul.

Thinking of you all at this time of year. Im sure Jimmy is smiling down on his beautiful wife, kids and sweet Rella. I love you all ❤

My sincerist wishes go out to you and your family. I lost my father on the same day. When James came into the office , he always had a smile. I hope they are enjoying the peace they so deserved. Lorraine

Dear Stephanie,
The celebration of Jim's life was amazing and beautiful. It was all about the music and the laughter. I continue to pray for you and your family. I know that Jim is with you, holding your hand...and God is holding the other. Behind you is a church full of people ready to step in at a moments notice. As you take the walk of grief remember that even in moments of solitude you are surrounded by prayers and God and Jim's love.
Diane.

The first time he played with the Tomkats Big Band was around 1987 at a fantastic private block party in Ybor City. The band had terrific personnel and the sound crew was top notch.

Two of the last gigs he...

Playing with the Tomkats big band was always a little more fun when Jim was around playing lead trumpet. His playing and especially his humor always added to the gig. My deepest condolences to Jim's family during this difficult time.
