Jimmy Dale Priest

I love you papa. I'm so sorry for all the grief I caused you.. You were and forever will be my hero. I hope to one day become half the man you were.

Papa, not a day goes by where I don't think about you. I miss you so very much. Some days I get angry because you aren't here anymore, and Im still confused about it. I hope and pray that you are happy and worry free.

Dad, I miss you

Uncle Jimmy I miss you so much. I have been thinking of some wonderful memories I had with you. It makes me happy to remember and think of those times. Mom reminded me of a time about ice cream and a microwave, the story is so funny, oh and I like mine the way you liked it too but too long in a microwave...there are so many memories, you had a good sense of humor and of course that smile! I was always glad when you came by at mamaws and I was there, with your BIG hugs! I miss those times so very much. I know you are with our family now and most of all you are at peace with no more pain. You will always be in my heart and I will always have those special memories. I love you so much, My dear uncle Jimmy!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful Dad, I miss you so very much. Even though you're not here I always feel you looking over us. I love you very much and always will!!!

My sweet brother, you are here in my heart and soul, I love and miss you so. I would like to tell you happy birthday , the last card I sent you , you kept for so long in your office..I never knew a card could mean so much!!! I lOVE YOU XXXXXXX'S OOOOOOO'S

Uncle Jimmy, I miss you so very much. It is so hard to not be able to see my sweet uncle, and of course that beautiful smile. I know you are with mamaw now and that you are no longer in pain. You meant so much to me. You are our Angel Uncle Jimmy. I love you so much. I was blessed to have you in my life!

Hi Dad, it's been 2 years today since we lost you. Even though time has healed some of the pain, I miss you every day. I miss our conversations we had everyday. I always looked to you for strength and guidence because you were the strongest and best man I have ever known. I am so Greatful you were my Day I only wish we could've had more time with you. I Love you so much...Patti

I miss you so much. I think of you at least 100 times a day. I think of all the times we played basketball (and you cheated) all the fun we had with you. If I was ever having a bad day I could talk to you and feel so much better. I wish I could just talk to you. Im sorry I didnt listen to your stories more when I was a kid.. Now all I want is to know more. I hope and pray I see you again someday. I love and miss you more than words can say.

Today is not a good day for me. I need my Papa.. I just wish I could hold your hands right now. I miss you so much. I still don't know how to deal with losing you. I love you Papa..
Your Baby,

my precious brother, missing you does not lessen for me as i cannot believe you're gone. i have a hard time excepting this. my only concilation is in the belief that you and mother and daddy are all togather, along with baby sister, connie. i love you forever. bobbie

Dear Papa,
It's almost Christmas, and while I am busy getting everything ready for all of the family coming in, I am still thinking about you. I have lost loved ones before, but it has never been this hard. I think about you and miss you every single minute of every day. Sometimes I hear gaby in her room talking to you. Playing with her toys and all of a sudden I hear her say, "Papa stop that" in a playful voice. She misses you very much. I will always keep your memory alive with her.
I know you are in Heaven. I hope you are watching over us all. I love you.
Your Babies,
Katrina and Gaby

I remember your hands and how you squeezed mine so tight and always called me your baby. I miss you so deeply. Life just doesn't seem like life anymore. I love you so very much Papa.. Your baby, Katrina

its hard to overcome this but i we have to it was hard to see him that morning before he died and i knew this was the end loved him like a dad he was my dad he will always be loved.

my precious brother, it is hard putting into words anything that is even remotely facing up to the idea that you are gone. i am having a hard time accepting this. i am in denial, somewhat in accepting the fact that i will never see you again. this loss of you, my baby brother hurts beyond belief. i love you so very much

I'm sure you know this, but I miss you so much. Life is just not the same. I know how much pain you were in, so Im glad you are no longer suffering. But my heart still aches for my Papa :(

From the time I met Jimmy I knew he was special. He was a stong, hardworking man. He always gave a minute of his time to ask me how I was doing. I have to say he was a great person, and I am sure he was a great father, brother, grandfather, uncle, ect.... Thank you, I will never forget.

Papa, Im so lost without you. Time isn't healing anything. I'm in your house looking at all your things and I just miss you. I miss sitting here on the couch watching old movies with you.. holding your hand. I miss all your stories. I look up at the clouds and look for a smile all the time. Most of the time I can't even breathe. Im so sorry I ddint come the weekend before. You never had a chance to find me our tape :( I know you wanted me to have it so badly.. I'll keep looking.
Thank you so much for being my father and loving me like I was your daughter. I will never forget all you have done for me. I just wish you were here so badly.

Dear Daddy,
It was your Birthday, June 8, 2010, I wish I could have spent the day with you fishing, or on a little old boat maybe sitting at home watching western movies, or just hanging out eating cherry or strawberry ice cream. I miss you every day and I am always reminded of your precious words you spoke to me on our last phone call. I am so sorry that I did not come to see you that weekend but I promise you I will see the achievable hopes and ideas that we had discussed for me through. They are not that far out of reach. I hope you are well and in no pain. Happy Birthday Daddy.
I Love You!!!!!!
Eternally your Daughter,
Brenda

May our hearts be filled with wonderful memories and joyful times together as we celebrate the life of my Father (Papa).

Our heartfelt thoughts and Prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. He always made our day when he would come and work at our facility. I enjoyed the times that we shared with him, and he will be deeply mised. May God keep you in His care until you meet again. Steve & Connie Gowers

Papa, words can't even express how much pain I feel inside. I miss you so much. I miss your bright blue eyes and your beautiful smile, the touch of your hand and beat of your heart.
You were not only a grandfather,, you are are my father. I will always remember all the funny things u did and said.. the songs you made up and silly drawings. You always put everyone else first, and you were the hardest working man I know. I know you have touched so many lives and we will all be a better person because of you. I promise to always be a good person and to be there for my family. I will be there for my Nana and do all i can for her and Tyler. I love you and wish you were still here with me.
I will just say... goodbye for now.

I miss you sooo much Daddy. I know you are in a better place but I wish I could hug you one more time.

Uncle Jimmy may you rest in peace. We will miss you! Joel, Toni & Maya West

Dear Uncle Jimmy, I miss you so very much and always will but you are with Jesus now and you are our Angel. I Love you so very much you were always there for your family. I will love and miss you so very much, that beautiful smile with a good sense of humor to go with it and your blue, blue eyes. You have always been in my life and I am sooo very blessed. When MaMa passed I remember you were on your knees giving me comfort. You were telling me how much I was loved and you told me the story about when MaMa went to your school, you said you were in shop class and that is when she told you that I had been born and that you were an uncle. I will never forget all you have done,, you have given of yourself,, always. you are a part of my own life, My sweet dear uncle Jimmy I love you so very much and will always be grateful that you were a part of my life.

We are sorry to lose our cousin. Jimmy's family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Cousin Jack

My condolences to the Priest family, children and grandchildren. The one thing I knew about "Papa" was how much my cousins loved him and how much he loved them. That's how he'll be remembered.

I miss my dad so much

My heart goes out to all of my Cousins, Aunts, Uncles & my Grandmother. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.
