Mr. Wimbs died on Monday, July 4, 2022 at his residence. He was born September 19, 1937, in Lawrence County to John Russell Wimbs and Julie Arlela Holcomb Wimbs. Mr. Wimbs was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Ferrell Wimbs and Travis Wimbs; four sisters, Margaret Wimbs Bell, Velman Wimbs Creel, Norine Wimbs and Luda Taylor.

Hunter, Braden, Carson, Harley, and Kooper were what made him smile. He loved to stay busy working on his place and visiting with anyone who had time to talk. Mr. Wimbs retired from working in assembly at the John Blue Company.
