Jimmy, I met him in 3rd grade at Seffner Elementary and we became instant best friends, I guess because we were both silly young boys and we just clicked. I am without words and do not understand God's plan with Jimmy's passing, it leaves sorrow in my heart knowing his Son and Daughter and entire family are having to endure this loss. I pray for understanding each night now for the loss of Jimmy and His good friend Darrel Kelly, (my brother) who passed just over 2 months after Jimmy. I am so broken

Dad, I am so glad that you were my father I will always miss you and I will always love you dad.

So sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing.  I am thinking of you all.

I saw Jim 3 weeks ago dancing, smiling and full of fun and laughter.  He brought such happiness to the environment.  My prayers go out to the entire family.

My love, my best friend and soulmate. I spent the best 3 years of my life with you, which ended way too soon. Jim, know how much I love you, rest in peace in heaven until we are together again. XOXO

Kathy,

Words cannot express how very sad and sorry we are to hear of Jim's  passing.  Tim and I were so happy to have had the opportunity to meet him when we visited you last October.  He was such a fun and special man.  Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. 

Love,
Christine and Tim

We shared some good conversations, divine cuisine and always laughter. Thank you for your genuine gifts of friendship and love.

He always had a kind word to say when he would come into The UPS Store for his mail. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

"Jim, You will definitely be missed my Friend! I'm glad to have known you over the past 7 years."

"Jim, you will definitely be missed my Friend! I'm glad to have known you over the past 7 years."

Throughout the years, we have conquered many computer problems but also became good friends. I will miss our chats. You were always available anytime to help us and the best part was that you always brought your smile. We will surely miss you!

Jimmy, you were a special person but that is the type of person that even after they are gone still puts a smile on there face when they think of you. We will miss you.

Jimmy, even though we didn't keep in touch as much as we should have, I will miss you my friend. Rest in Peace.
