It's really hard to put in writing my feelings regarding the loss of Jimmy. It's hard to accept the passing of such a truely good person. We knew his values: God, Family and Country. He lived these values in a happy straight forward way. He was full of Life and Goodness.
So many good memories.
He will be loved and missed always,
Cousin Eddie

For Jimmy,

These borrowed words from a couple of combined quotes for a truly blessed man. Who is now sorely missed, and will never be forgotten.

-They that love beyond the world, cannot be separated by it, for death cannot kill what never dies, because death cannot separate you from God's love.

Rest in peace brother, we'll certainly find y'all when our time comes.

Always loved you....

He was a very good man. He also lived out his faith in Christ each day and was a faithful servant to others as well as a one who encouraged others.
Jimmy you will be missed, but we will see you and Bonnie again at the rapture.
