Jimmy Bynum was born on February 15, 1940, in Plainview, Texas. He spent his vibrant life pursuing what made him happy and sharing his joyous spirit with those fortunate enough to know him. On November 3, 2025, Jimmy passed away peacefully in Rotan, Texas, leaving behind a legacy filled with laughter and love.
Jimmy was known for his funny personality that could light up any room. He had a unique ability to find humor in everyday situations, bringing joy to countless lives. His passion for life was evident in the little things—especially in his love for going junking, where he found treasure in the most unexpected places and cultivated many fond stories along the way.
He is survived by his loving sister, Sherry Hale, and by his niece and nephew, Greg and D'Linda Benham. Together, they remember him not just for his humor but for the warmth and kindness he shared throughout his life.
Jimmy's life was complemented by his beloved wife, Joyce Bynum, who has preceded him in death. Their enduring love was a testament to their bond, which continues to inspire family and friends.
Friends and family are invited to celebrate Jimmy’s life at a graveside service that will take place on November 7, 2025, at Mt. Zion Cemetery in Rotan, Texas, starting at 3:30 PM. This will be a time to reflect on the moments shared and the love that endures.
