I'm sad to hear that you passed my old friend. I prayed for you and looked forward to hearing your voice back in 2011 but we weren't meant to be in this life. I pray you finally found your peace and that you finally found love before you passed makes me smile. I hope we can all finally unite on the other side.

Although i hadn't known Jimmy for a lengthy amount of years the warmth of his heart made anyone feel like a brother or a sister like a part of his life. I can't recall ever seeing Jimbo with a frown on his face. He made anyone smile every single time the love he had for his wife and little Santi was unconditional. You will be missed Jimbo You were my big brother i never had. I will miss you dearly... RIP..

Jimmy gave me a gift many about 9 years ago. I have kept it in my wallet wherever I go. His smile was warming and I only knew one if his son's but I can tell you Jimmy should be very proud of the man Jesse gas become. To his wife and young son, family is a gift Jimmy may be gone but hold close to his family to remind you and your son just how special he was and to keep his legacy alive.
