A dedicated and courageous soldier, Jimmy served honorably in the United States Army for three years. His legacy of service and commitment to others will forever be remembered and cherished.
He worked hard his whole life and retired from Kay's Ice Cream and Blount County Schools. James was also a devout football fan of Maryville High School. He loved attending games on Friday nights and supporting the players. His favorite pass time was landscaping and woodworking.
