    Sweet sweet Jimmy I wish we could’ve been closer but after we move to Tennessee we just sort of lost touch mostly but you were very loved young man and your mom and dad were very very proud of you and sister Mari always looked out for you. Aunt Paula and Uncle Jim love you very much.

    Very sad to see this. One of my best childhood friends. Jimmy had a big heart and an infectious laugh that made everyone smile.

    Jimmy was a wonderful man. He will be greatly missed. I used to minister to him at LTHC. He was always smiling. May the Lord Jesus comfort each of his family members and friends and give them peace.

    I remember many conversations that Jimmy and I had-some quite difficult, other’s some enlightening and inspiring, and other’s-just light and fun!! Jimmy had his “demons,” but he fought hard! If you knew him, your life was affected/touched, in some way, by him!! Jimmy was a good man, he had a huge heart, he loved his family deeply!! May he rest now, in peace!! To his family, I am so very sorry for your loss!
