His work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit were admired by many. A long-time member of Woodrow Baptist Church since 1954, he dedicated much of his time and energy as a Deacon, supporting his church family and spreading kindness throughout the community.

An avid drag racing enthusiast, Jimmie found joy in the thrill of the race and the camaraderie it fostered. His travels across Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana were filled with unforgettable moments spent with friends and fellow racing fans, all of whom he considered part of his extended family. Jimmie loved Texas Tech Basketball and held season tickets since the 80's.
