INTERMENT: DFW National Cemetery, date and time pending.Celebration of Life: To follow interment, date and time pending Jimmy honorably served his country in Vietnam and returned home to Riverside where he owned Sylvania Bar & Billiards (The Poolhall) for 25+ years before retiring. Sadly, from his time in Vietnam to years of smoking he developed an untreatable cancer. One small blessing for the family has been discovering the enormous impact he had on so many lives.

The family would like to thank a few who provided support during this time. To Gary and Johnny Driver, a strength in our weakness and your love for my dad is evident in the words you've said and actions you've expressed. To Jack O'Dell, I know how very close you were to my dad & all you have done for him over the years. To Kenan, it was no secret the bond our fathers had and the impact this has on your life. Thank you for all your help and for giving Callie a new loving home. To all of his friends who had a part in raising me, thank you for loving my dad through it all.

Very sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. The last time I saw Jimmy was at DFW National Cemetary, almost 4 years ago. He was attending my husband's memorial service. It was good to visit with him, after many years. God bless his family and close friends.

My son, Parrish Don Ingram, just called me today to inform me of Jimmy's passing. I was floored. I have known him since I was 18 or 19 from the Riverside Car Wash. Good times. I also knew his wife, Jan, as well as her sister Pat Shafer. So sorry to hear that he was suffering from cancer, but the good Lord will take care of him now. I have many stories to tell, but this is not the place. Lots of laughs with him.

Simply put, "Jimmy was my rock." Always there, day or night, to ease my mind no matter what the situation. No words can express how much I miss him. Happy trails, my dear friend.

Jimmy will be greatly missed. I have known him since elementary school, and our friendship continued throughout the years. I didn't know Jimmy had been sick or I would have visited more these past few years. I hope his family will find comfort in knowing Jimmy had so many friends who loved him.

Tiffany and family:
I grew up with Butch on Barclay St. I am four years older and he was like a little brother to me. We had so much fun riding bikes and going to the "Kid Show" on Saturdays. After I moved away and got married, we lost touch for quite a few years but reconnected when Amy died. He came over for lunch and a visit several times and we talked on the phone occasionally. I am so sorry that it had been awhile since we were in contact. I had no idea he was sick and I so regret not getting to see him before he passed. He was one of a kind, as was his mother, Amy. I loved them both and I will never forget them.
Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss.

Carlann Brewer: In recent weeks I had attempted to locate Jimmy Eudy in on-line searches to no avail. Now, like most of his friends, family, and former classmates, I will share the sorrow of his loss. Jimmy didn't just march to a different drummer, he lead the parade for those of us who had never quite found our place in those teenage years. Jimmy was quiet, and introspective, and surprisingly funny. Thank you Jimmy for showing us all that being unique is the best kind of cool to be. Love to your family.

I was so sorry to hear about Jimmy. We went to school together but reconnected when Billy Franklin passed and I spent a lot of time at Billy's home in Oakhurst clearing and preparing to sell. Jimmy many times would drop by and visit to help where he could, but mostly to share memories and visit with other friends that would stop by. I just loved him and his quirky sense of humor. There was a uniqueness about him that was so endearing and I regret we disconnected after that. I have thought of him many times since, but sometimes life gets busy and our best intentions get pushed back. I wished I had the opportunity to have said Goodbye in person. He will be missed.
