Jimmy's life was a testament to the power of love and family. After a brief illness, he passed away on July 18, 2025, surrounded by the family he cherished. He was born September 25, 1934, to the late Reppard Mikell and Vivian Raulerson Mikell. Jimmy often expressed his gratitude for his fine family, and he was blessed to have had 67 incredible years of marriage to his loving wife, Janelle Mikell. He would proudly say that his family was one of his greatest accomplishments. Jimmy was a devoted father to his two sons, Micky Mikell (wife April Mikell) and Mark Mikell (wife Wendy Mikell). His grandchildren, Tyler Mikell (wife Marla Mikell), Cody Mikell (wife Sarah Mikell), Molly Clements (husband Jacob Clements), and Hope Hall, brought immense joy to his life. His great-grandchildren, Sawyer Mikell, Stella Clements, Maggie Mikell, Barrett Clements, Jacob Smith, and Dana Hall, filled his heart with happiness. Jimmy's love for his family was an inspiration to all who knew him. On July 18, 2025, Jimmy's journey on earth came to an end, but his legacy of love will live on through his family and friends. A private family graveside was held at sunset on July 19, 2025, at Pine Lawn Cemetery to celebrate his life and the love he gave.

I grew up with jimmy in my life as a father figure because my dad died when I was a young teenager. Jimmy always treated me like I was part of his family. He was always so kind to me and he and I had a lot of laughs as I grew into a man.
He was always such a kind man to me and I will always remember the adult leadership he showed me that he didn´t have to.
Thanks Jimmy from the bottom of my heart for caring about me. I have never forgotten you and never will.
