Jimmy Jimenez, beloved son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend, passed away on April 9, 2023, at the age of 82. He was born on January 3, 1941, in Plaquemine, Louisiana, to parents Julio and Micaela Jimenez.

Growing up, Jimmy lived in train box cars before his family settled in Eastland, Texas. He worked as a truck driver before meeting Irene, the love of his life, at a party in Azusa in 1958. Then they were married two years later on, July 2, 1960, and spent 62 wonderful years together, raising a family and building a life filled with love and patience. He was a grouchy man at times but had a loving heart.

Jimmy was preceded in death by his parents, Julio and Micaela Jimenez, and his sisters, Ramona, Cecelia, Frances, Abilene "Coca," and Marie "Mary." He was also preceded in death by his sons, Jimmy Jimenez and Johnny Jimenez.

Jimmy worked hard to provide for his family and made many sacrifices along the way. He was also active in his community, coaching the Azusa American Little League team, the Indians. He was also a dedicated member of his church St. Frances of Rome, Helping Hand of Azusa community club, and served over 30 years to the citizens of Azusa
