Jimmy Compton Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A proud member of Sand Springs Baptist Church, Jimmy embodied the spirit of dedication and love in all he did. His adventurous soul found joy in breaking horses and competing as a bull rider and bronc rider in the rodeo. A true cowboy at heart, he was often seen riding his beloved horse, Jazzy, in local parades, leaving a mark on the memories of many. Jimmy was also passionate about watching westerns, with a special fondness for Pro Rodeo.
Jimmy will be lovingly remembered by his daughters, Terri (Bobby) Pearson and Tracy (Miki) Klempa, as well as his 46 grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, his son Wade Compton, and his daughter Jan Sanders.
