Well what can I say of all the people We ride with, He was one of a kind. It seems as the years go by we lose the ones who have left a big impact on our lives, Jimmy was one of those people. He will be in our thoughts as the years go by. To his family I am very sorry for your pain, To his friends we will never forget the good times he has shown us all.

Sugar,
God has not promised skies always blue, Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through; God has not promised sun without rain, joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
But God has promised strength for the day, Rest for the labor, Light for the way, Grace for the trials, Help from above, Unfailing sympathy, UNDYING LOVE.

Jimmy, we didn't know that morning,
that God had called your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you
and you did not go alone
for part of us is with you,
when God called you home.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
