Jimmy Brackett Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jimmy married Marilyn Jones, sharing 15 years together. The couple were introduced by two of their siblings and were married shortly after. They had 5 precocious kids and lived throughout Missouri, Arkansas, Colorado, Texas, and Alabama.
Most days, you could find Jimmy outside, tinkering with his cars and listening to music. He loved talking on the phone with his family every day.
Jimmy is preceded in death by his parents, Charles Brackett and Flora (Quinton) Brackett, his beloved son, Lil' Jim, his sisters, Wilma, Betty, Christine, Susie, June Ann, and his brother Billy. Beloved brother and sister-in-law's through the years along with several nieces and nephews.
Jimmy is survived by his children; Soni ( Randy) McCormick of GA, Jamie (Pete) Appleton of WI, Charlotte (Kevin-honorary son) Brackett of FL, and Shane (Andrea) Brackett of IL. His grandchildren; Amber (Ryan) Jones, Jacob (Katie) Mueller, Alex (Charity) Brackett, all of WI and brand new grandchild, Aria June of IL. His great-
grandchildren; Slate Jahnke, Lina, Izzy with one on the way and Aurora Mueller, all of WI. His siblings; Bobby Brackett of AR, Sharon Brackett of MO, Ricky Snider, Terry Johnson, Brenda Fuller, Rhonda Hastings and Janean Hynes, all of AL and his honorary little brother, Brett Harrison also of AL. Along with 2 other children, Tina and Victor Brewer and their families of MO. from a previous marriage. And his grandson, CJ Vanderbohl of MO.
Jimmy will be remembered for his sense of humor, creative ideas, and his curious kitchen concoctions. He was always up for a joke and a beer. He was good-natured and kind. He will be missed by so many.
Per Jimmy's wishes, cremation has taken place with no formal services to be held. His ashes will be scattered at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you perform a random act of kindness in any way you can.
