James C. "Jimmy" Fint

James "Jimmy" C. Fint, aged 71, passed away on May 24, 2025, just two days shy of his 72nd birthday in Frankfort, Kentucky. Born on May 26, 1953, to James C. Fint Sr. and Hallie F. (Hellard) Fint, Jimmy was a respected carpenter who inherited his skills from his father and later shared them with his own sons.
Jimmy's career in carpentry was a significant part of his life. He worked alongside his father until his father's passing, after which he and his sons established Fint and Sons, a company specializing in building and remodeling homes. Known for his detailed knowledge of every house he built, Jimmy was a great reference for any question about a house. He was the first person his sister, Libby, would ask questions about their house.
Outside of his professional life, Jimmy had a vibrant personality characterized by a wonderful sense of humor and a deep love for his family. He was a devoted father to his sons and adored his grandchildren. Jimmy was an avid bass fisherman in his younger years and enjoyed watching NASCAR races every Sunday with his son Jamie. When Jimmy was in good health he would go to Talladega with his two sons for the races, he would talk for weeks about those races. Any time you went to his home you would see him watching Judge Judy. At the time of his death he had over 30 Judge Judy's recorded. Jimmy loved the Lord and cherished the time spent discussing the Bible on the porch of his lifelong friend Haney Johnson.
Jimmy is survived by his son, James "Jamie" C. Fint III; grandchildren, Tyler and Natalie Fint; sisters, Wilanna Dixon, Carolyn Harrod, and Libby (Chris) Rohmann, all of Kentucky; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Emily Fint-Cecil for her support during Jimmy's final days and the same heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Steve Crum for his guidance and support. He was preceded in death by his parents and his son, Jason Paul Fint.
In accordance with his wishes, Jimmy will be cremated and he did not want a formal service. His sister Libby is organizing a remembrance celebration, details of which will be announced later. Contributions in memory of Jimmy can be made to Hospice of Frankfort. Jimmy's legacy of laughter, craftsmanship, and family devotion will be cherished and remembered by all who knew him. He will be deeply missed.
Arrangements are under the direction of Harrod Brothers Funeral Home & Crematory.
