Jimmy was suffering from a multitude of illnesses during the last 2 1/2 months of his life. Weeks of struggling to overcome these were not what God had planned and on December 31st he took his last breath surrounded by his daughters and many of his grandchildren. With saddened hearts we say goodbye to our Dad, Grandfather, Pop and friend.
Jimmy’s passions in life could not be contained in a single word or description, as he loved his family, friends and music.
Jimmy was a member and Deacon of Lawrence Drive Baptist Church since 1979. He worked in the trailer business for most of his career, retiring from Trailmobile in Atlanta, GA.
