I was truly saddened when Michael told me back then about Jimmy’s passing. He lived beautiful life and raised honorable sons; Shelly, John, and Michael. I first met Jimmy back in 1988 when I was attending USC with Michael. We would spend great holidays at the Brantley’s as he insisted to cook; he made delicious shrimps and roasts.
I am terribly sorry that I found this page this late. I have not been back to Ridgeland to pay my respect since I left the States in 1994.
I, and my brother Abdulrahman will always remember the Brantley family: Jimmy, Phyllis, Shelly, John, and Michael in great respect and appreciation.
