Meeting Jimmy and being able to help him is one of the best things I have ever done in my life, It taught me how to give back. I won't forget Jimmy, he made me a better person, I couldn't have picked a nicer, caring and more fun loving person than him.

God bless all of Jimmy's family and friends. He always had a special way about him, and knew how to make people laugh. For a person who didn't have much, he always had a very positive outlook on life. He was a genuine person who apreciated the gift of life everyday.
