Jimmy was an AMAZING friend and a Great man, but above all he was the best father possible!!!
He was outgoing and loved to live life, from playing softball, shooting pool and playing darts, fixing things( hints: heating & air)
he never minded lending a helping hand, and if you weren’t early you were late! He LOVED music and if you have ever been out with him you would know he had happy feet. when he entered a room it would instantly light up from his smile and energy!
He will forever be missed and loved!

He was a good mañ and a great brother wé 3 sisters loved him dearly and we. Are so hurt to lose him
My dear brother. We loved him deeply and will always cherish the many memories we made with him. It is a major shock that he is gone from us. So unexpected. I remember praying for him as i always did the night before he passed away and I was asking God to please heal my brother in the name of Jesus. When he passed, I thought well Jesus decided not to heal him but then Jesus spoke to me and let me know that indeed he had healed him, but it was also time to take him to his heavenly home. Thank you, Dear Lord, for letting me have my brother the years he was here. I love you Jimmy and will always miss you, till we meet again. Your sister Bonnie.

Jimmy was indeed a great man. He was so looking forward to feeling better and he’s definitely feeling better than ever! He left many good memories with many people, smiling and joking all the way to the finish line. He was playing old school music days before. After being welcomed by the Lord, he may have just broken out in dance. Forever loved, never forgotten.
I have very fond memories of Jimmy as a little boy! He was my little friend! Being the youngest was a little hard at times especially if you had older siblings teasing you! Yes, he was loved by everyone and I will never forget his sincere kindness to me! He was the little brother that I never had! When our soul is placed in a body by God it will surely return to God. Knowing that Jimmy is in a better position means we can continue to pray for journey and acceptance of God! Jimmy is in the care of God now! His eternal journey has been met with love and healing. Everyone will miss Jimmy but the memories are warm and wonderful. So long my friend until we meet again!
Jimmy was my hero. He lived in front of me growing up on Stewart Road. He was my protector as a small kid. He always came over and played with me and my brother Jeff. We thought he was the coolest guy that ever lived. My thoughts and prayers are with Dianne, Carol and Bonnie and family.
