James Withrow Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Ratterman & Sons Funeral Home - Bardstown on Mar. 16, 2026.
James "Jimbo" D. Withrow, 64, of Louisville, passed away on Sunday, March 15, 2026, surrounded by his family.

Jimbo was an electrician by trade and a proud member of IBEW Local 369. He enjoyed spending time with his family, especially playing with his granddaughter and traveling with his wife. Jimbo was a big University of Kentucky basketball fan and could often be found playing golf, tinkering in his garage or listening to music. Jimbo was loved by those who he came in contact with and often remembered fondly the times he would spend with his sons' inner circle of friends as they grew up.

He is preceded in death by his mother, Shirley King Withrow; father, Allen Withrow; and brothers, Bob, David, and Ralph Withrow.

Carrying on Jimbo's legacy are his loving wife of 42 years, Janet Dillman Withrow; sons, Nick Withrow and Andy Withrow; daughter-in-law, Alecia Fuller Withrow; granddaughter, Lily Withrow; sister, Mary Monyhan (Gary); brothers, William Withrow (Maria), Larry Withrow (Brenda), and Mike Withrow (Nancy); and many more in-laws, nephews, and bratty nieces.

Visitation for Jimbo will be on Friday, March 20 from 2-8PM at Ratterman & Sons Funeral Home, 3800 Bardstown Road.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to American Cancer Society.
