Jimmy Victor Salva Sr.

Jimmy Victor Salva, Sr. passed away on Friday, March 20, 2020 at the age of 76 due to complications from spinal surgery. He was a native of Mobile, AL and a resident of Carriere, MS. Beloved husband of Shirlimae Masson Salva. Father of Jimmy Victor Salva, Jr. (Kari). Son of the late Anna Mae Eberhard and Pedro Sylvester "Pud" Salva, Sr. Brother of Sally Salva Allen (Don), Deborah Salva Eakins (Johnny), David Anthony Salva and the late Pedro Sylvester "PJ" Salva, Jr (Grace). Also survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Jimmy had a successful career for over 30 years as a stage hand, and he enjoyed 24 years of retirement. With many skillsets, he could repair most anything. He was an avid sportsman that loved hunting and fishing. In particular he made many fond memories spending time with his son Jimmy Jr. at their hunting camp. He could often be found dining out with his wife Shirley and friends at Dockside seafood in Mississippi. He enjoyed and appreciated the outdoors and often spent time caring for his lawn and his tractor. Through the years he had many beloved dogs that he loved to spoil. He had a giving and kind heart and was always there to lend a helping hand to others. He enjoyed preparing meals for his family, while ensuring that there was more than enough for everyone. Every Good Friday, during his family's annual crawfish boil, Jimmy fried fish and oysters and found joy in passing the tray around for everyone else's enjoyment. He loved spending time with his family and he will be dearly missed. May he rest in eternal peace with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our family and friends are important to us; however, as a result of the present circumstances a memorial service is being planned for a later date.
