Obituary published on Legacy.com by Crevasse's Simple Cremation - Jacksonville on Mar. 3, 2026.
September 19,1973 – February 5, 2026
It`s with great sadness to notify all of you, the death of Jimmie/Jim, from a tragic accident! His loss of life has been a terrible loss to his family, friends, and co-workers! He had just begun a new chapter in his life, the past few months, and was happy, again! He had a wonderful smile, strange sense of humor, and a great love of the ocean, surfing, fishing, camping! He traveled across the country several times, flew to Hawaii, and lived there, for a few years. He was always searching for something, we didn't understand, but, with our hopes, and dreams for him, he had found it, and is at peace now!
He is survived by his mother(Jeff), his dog(Moxie), Aunt Linda Mathis(Mike), Aunt Bobbye Collins, Aunt Patricia Henries(Ricky), Aunt Nuggie Rice(Curtis), Uncle Brad Collins, cousins, Kathleen Collins, Michael Collins(Linda), numerous cousins, aunts/uncles, from his mothers first marriage.
He was preceded in death by, his maternal father(Keith), grand parents, Wilbur Selby(Lucille), Merrill Pound(Merta), his cousin(Michelle), Aunt Donna McGrath, and, many other great aunts(uncles)
We love you Jimmie, and, miss you so very much!
