James Stimpson Obituary
Jim's passion was his love of golf, where he developed special relationships that remained strong and true for his entire life. He was an avid reader, finding enrichment in the Bible. Jim was a faithful member of the Assembly of God in Marianna, AR, and then moved to Barton Baptist Church in Barton, AR in 2015. In addition to his devotion to his church, he volunteered much of his time to teach the gospel to the senior community. Jim loved the professional sport teams of St. Louis, often attending live games of the Cardinals and the Blues with family and friends. Those that Jim knew well, often noted that nobody could nap like he could, and he proudly owned that. His sarcasm, humor, positivity, and playful approach to life will be missed immensely - everyone that crossed his path became truly fond of him.
Survivors include his wife, Kristi Jordan; his ex-wife and mother of his children, Linda Stimpson; daughters, Angela Cuozzo (Mike) and Amanda Cutter (Lou); son, Todd Stimpson. Grandchildren: Amber DiPiazza (Tony), Brytney Stimpson, James Cutter (Kiersten), Valerie Stimpson, Taylor Cutter and Kyle Stimpson. Jim's brothers: Don Stimpson (Dumpy) and Danny Chrestman (Sheree). He was predeceased by sisters: Betty Stimpson Booth, Barbara Chrestman (Donny); brother Sonny Stimpson. In addition, Jim is survived by many nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of Life Memorial will be announced at a later date, in which close friends and family will be invited.
Donations in Jim's name may be made to Women & Children First: The Center Against Family Violence, P.O. Box 1954, Little Rock, AR 72203 or online at: https://bit.ly/3B4TZey

I´m so sorry to hear of Jim´s passing. I had a close working relationship with Jim and he was the best distribution manager I ever had the pleasure of working with. Jim was always very accommodating and made it possible for my team to utilize his meeting room on a regular basis.
Jim always included his Pizza Hut customers at his golf outings, truck rodeos, picnics and parties to celebrate holidays. Jim was a great host and team leader, he was respected by all.
On a personal note, Jim employed my two sons throughout summers and during their college years making their work schedules flexible to accommodate their needs.

So sorry if the loss of Andy but a smile comes to me that he is in heaven where he had set his goal. May peace come to each and ever family members. Loved Andy´s Bible study. He was the best!
