To the Ennis Family:
I worked with Jimmy Ennis back in the 80s when he worked in Audit & I worked in a trailer bank back then. Jimmy was the most amazing kindest man to our staff who experienced several bank robberies. He understood being a victim & was very sympathetic. I will always remember his gentle manor to help us through those tough times! His lost hurts my heart. 
Regards, Elaine Fire Lee

So very sorry to hear about Jimmy's death. I worked with him at Wachovia Bank. He was such a nice person.  Praying for the family during this time. You have my deepest sympathy.

Hi Sammy, I remember Jimmy from the six months I was a resident at Sunrise Senior Living (June to Dec 2021). I remember that he would come downstairs with us and many of us would always help push a chair in underneath him when he sat with us and ate popcorn. Although he was quiet, he was very attentive and involved in our conversations and activities. You may not remember me (I was the unlikely 59-yr-old resident at Sunrise), but I remember you and the plentiful and inexhaustible times you visited with Jimmy. He was definitely blessed to have you as his friend and his wife.

We want to send our sincerest condolences.  Jimmy was always a friendly face when we first joined Benson and attended the Sunday School class.  He always had a smile on his face, and was always a very welcoming and friendly person.  He will be missed.

Sammy and family,
It's hard to put into words what Jimmy meant to Randy and me. We knew him through Bible studies and through Hinton ministry teams. In vacation Bible School he was my actor for a couple of summer sessions in the Bible story time-and a good one at that! He was a wonderful lay leader and I really appreciated it when he shared his story about how he came to Christ. He had a very gentle spirit and was very faithful to study the Bible. He attended the Bible studies that Randy and I led and was a very important member of that group. I think what I remember the most however was one particular time on a Hinton ministry trip. We were saying goodbye at the end of the week to the lady that we were serving. As she was standing at her door Jimmy turned to Randy and me and said I want these two to sing a song for you before we leave. The song he chose was how Great Thou Art. If you know this song the refrain begins with "Then sings my soul.." Jimmy, your soul is now singing to the Lord!

Dear Sammy and Family,
May you be blessed with the peace, faith, and strength needed as you cope with the death of Jimmy.  I have many fond memories of Jimmy as he assumed numerous significant responsibilities at our church, Benson Memorial United Methodist Church

Jimmy was such a shining example of how to love God and dedicate your life to family, friends and service. He was such a great Lay Leader at BMUMC and I always appreciated his guidance when it was my turn to serve as Lay Leader. Peace to you, Sammy, and all of your family, as you mourn his loss and remember all of the good times and memories.

Dear Ones,  these last years have been such a challenge for each of you.  Jimmy had so many gifts and he will be missed. Still I can say with deep confidence,  I know that I will see him again, when we are both in the presence of Jesus our Lord and Savior.  Please give Sammy my best hug as I will be unable to do this.  
With Love and Thankfulness
In Jesus name

Jimmy Ennis is now at peace.  Such a good and gentle man. Always sharing a smile with his hand out ready to help whoever needed it.  He gave me my first opportunity to help at Benson Church: going to his Mom’s nursing home to sing and share time with the residents there.  Those times were a blessing to me.  Sending sincere condolences to Sammy and all of the family.  Susan Denning

Love to Sammy and family,
We knew Jimmy from Sunday School where he faithfully attended for years. We knew him as he served as part of the Drive Through Prayer team and shared sincere prayers to assure others of God's  power in their lives. He was a devoted son who gathered groups of us to visit his mother and her friends for Sunday afternoon song fests. 
But some of our happiest memories of Jimmy were spent serving with him on Hinton Mission Teams where he was affectionately known as "Jumping Jimmy" .  He shared his skill sets with teams of Benson volunteers to help equip us to accomplish work projects.  His ready smile assured all around him of God's love and presence. We thank God for the joy of knowing him and for the memories that will remain fixed in our hearts.  We love our Jimmy.

Even though I did not know him very long he holds a special place in my heart. He was so sweet and accepting to me when i came to work at the Cary house with him. He would tell me that he missed me when i was off for a few days. He would ask me how my nieces was doing he did not remember their names but he did remember we spoke about them. He was a very pleasant individual and I am truly going to miss him dearly. I am glad that i had the opportunity to take care of him for the last few months. I send my condolences to his family.

I knew Jimmy at Wachovia Bank. If Jimmy was your friend, you had a friend for life. He was such a good witness for Christ. The Ennis family is in my thoughts & prayers. Joyce Parrott 🙏
