Jimmy Odom Obituary
Born on April 30, 1949, in Breckenridge, Tx, he was the son of Bernard L and Luella Mae Odom. He spent his life surrounded by family, friends, and a community that loved him. A dedicated Water Well Driller and business owner in the Bastrop area, he was known for his hard work, integrity, and sense of humor.
Jimmy is survived by his loving wife, Linda Odom; children, Kristi Odom, Jimmy Odom Jr and wife Laura, and David Odom and wife Morgan; grandchildren, Kayla Bartsch Voigt and husband Zach, Cheyenne Odom, Presley Bartsch, Kristen Odom, Jackson Workman, Hayden Odom, Lauren King and husband Stuart, Kenzie Odom, Kambrie Odom, Evan Odom, Johnny Osborn, Chucky Bradley and great grandfather to Atlas King, Jett Thomas, Wayne Workman and Silas King, He is also survived by one brother, Vernon {Buddy) Odom.
Jimmy is preceded in death by his parents, Bernard and Louella Mae Odom; his brothers, Daniel Leon and Tommy Derrell; his sister, Patricia Annette; and grandson, Jimmy Odom III (Lil Bubba).
Throughout his life, Jimmy enjoyed fishing, camping, trips to the casino and tinkering around in his shop.
His sense of humor and generosity touched everyone he met, especially his grandchildren. He was a guiding light to his family and friends, always offering wisdom, support, and love.
A memorial service and burial will be held later, at Fort Cavazos in Killeen with full military honors. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Wounded Warrior's Project in Jimmy Odom's memory.
Although we are heartbroken by his passing, we take comfort in knowing that his love and memories will forever live on in our hearts.
Rest in peace, Pops. You will be deeply missed.
