Jimmy Dyer

Jimmy N. Dyer, 62, of Jekyll Island, passed away on Saturday, Sept. 13, 2025 after a short but fierce battle with lung cancer.

Jimmy was preceded in death by his parents, Luther Dyer and R. Marie (Stafford) Dyer, of Spring Place.

Jimmy is survived by his wife of 28 years, Laura Swehla Dyer, of Jekyll Island; his brother and sister-in-law, Jeff and Becky (Stewart) Dyer of Chatsworth; along with his nephews and their families, and a large and loving family of in-laws.

Jimmy was born, grew up and lived in Murray County until 2014. He was well-known for his skill in the carpet industry, his years as a courier for FedEx then owning and operating Professional Wellness Therapy with his wife.

In 2014, the Lord revealed to the Dyers that it was time to fulfill their lifelong dream of moving to Jekyll Island.

They have owned and operated Beach Life Massage on Jekyll Island since that time, and have been so grateful for the loving island community who made this possible. During that time, along with his many quiet ministries, Jimmy has volunteered at Saved by Grace, and Union City Church, in Brunswick, where the Dyers regularly attend.

Jimmy was first and foremost a man of God. His life radically changed in his early 30s when he accepted Christ and submitted his life to the glory of the Lord. It was his faith that allowed him to be an amazing husband to Laura, a dependable employee and a good friend to so many. Jimmy was discipled by the leaders and members of Church on the Hill, formerly Evangelical Methodist Church, in Dalton. He enjoyed serving as much as he enjoyed learning, singing in the choir, serving for many years as head usher, helping out with missions and whatever else was needed. The Dyers have remained close with Pastors Eddie and Beth Taylor and the Church on the Hill family and are eternally grateful for their time there.

There will be a memorial service to celebrate Jimmy's life at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20, 2025 at historic Faith Chapel, on Jekyll Island.

Laura and the family will receive visitors at a reception immediately following the service in the private room above Tribuzio's Grille until 6 p.m.

Laura requests that donations be made in Jimmy's honor to Taylor Ministries Group and Saved by Grace.

Brunswick Memorial Park Funeral Home, www.brunswickmemorialpark.com, assisted the family.
