Jimmy Skinner Obituary

Published by Legacy on Nov. 13, 2025.
Jimmy Skinner, a loving father, grandfather, and friend, passed away surrounded by the love of his family. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Jimmy was a devoted father to his daughters, Destani Allison and Mariska, and a proud papa who cherished every moment spent with his family. He was a true family man the kind who found joy in the simple things: casting a line while fishing, heading out for a hunt, or sitting around the table sharing stories and laughter with those he loved most.
A man of many talents, Jimmy had a special gift for woodworking. It was more than a hobby; it was a passion that brought his creativity to life. His craftsmanship and dedication shined through in every project he touched.
Jimmy is preceded in death by his beloved grandson Grayson, his mother Sheila Maize, father Douglas Maize, and sister Brenda Cruze. Though he is gone from this world, the love and memories he created will forever remain in the hearts of those who were blessed to know him.
Jimmy's family would like to thank everyone for their support, love, and prayers during this difficult time. In lieu of other arrangements, the family kindly asks that all flowers be sent to his daughters.
Jimmy's legacy will live on through the lives he touched in every piece of wood he shaped, every story told, and every heart that carries his memory.
Forever loved, forever missed.
