James “Jimmy” N. Furr, III, passed away on Monday, December 23, 2019. Visitation will be held at Lakewood Funeral Home on Saturday, December 28, 2019 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon followed by a committal service at Lakewood Memorial Park.
Jimmy was a person of few words but had a kind, gentle heart. He described himself many years ago as just a “simple man”. He loved spending time in the woods with his dog, Duchess and son, Josh and he was always helping his mom and dad with anything they needed done around the house. He especially adored his grandson, Ryder.
He is preceded in death by his son, James “Jamie” Furr, IV; paternal grandparents, James N. Furr, Sr. and Christine Furr; and maternal grandparents, Robert E. Robinson and Ruth Robinson Smith.
Jimmy is survived by his parents, James “Sonny” Furr, Jr. and Bobbye R. Furr; son, Joshua C. Furr; grandson, Ryder K. Furr; sister, Lisa Furr Boleware (Eddie) and their children, Blake and Amanda Boleware. He is also survived by his canine companion, Duchess and numerous extended family members.

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
