Rest heavenly Jimmy!
You were a good man! Your good deeds and kindness will live forever! The Brewington and Thomas family.

To all who knew and loved Jimmy ,including me,
so very sorry for your loss. I am saddened that I won’t hear his voice talking about his garden,
fishing, and riding around the neighborhood in
his golfcart. He was always very pleasant, never
complained. Jimmy is to be commended for
the end of life care given to his parents. We shall be comforted knowing he is with them in heaven.Jesus words in the book of John ch14
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you”
I will miss you Jimmy. Love Aunt MaryAnne

Jimmy helped my son catch the fish in this picture. I remember telling Jimmy to get in the picture too - he declined and said let Eli have the shining moment. That is who he was…kind, giving, thoughtful, and simple in the very best ways. My twin boys and I spent many hours fishing with Jimmy and we learned so much from him. I believe he taught me more about how we are supposed to live life than I realized - giving to others and remembering that as long as we can do what we love, we’ll that’s a life worth living.  He was a true friend to many. I don’t know his family, but I am truly sorry for your loss. I do know his RPP family and I know his passing will impact so many. 

Jimmy - I hope the fish never stop biting!

This is how I will always remember Jimmy.

I will always miss you Jimmy, we shared many meals, good card games with Big Jim & Mary I will never forget you I love you and will miss you forever LOVE, Cathy Walkosz

I met Jimmy at the RRP little pier, one of his regular fishing spots. His usual route to the pier passed right by my home, so I frequently saw him. He took on the task of dog sitting my pup Lulu when I was away; Lulu was always excited to see Jimmy and drive around in his golf cart. He was kind hearted and often shared his garden bounty or some of his home cooking with me and others. I was very sad to hear of his passing and offer my condolences to his family. Jimmy will be greatly missed in RRP and I will miss his friendship .      Sharon & Lulu

I was so sad to hear of Jim’s passing. He was so very helpful to my parents in River Run when they needed help during their later years   He cooked their meals for them. He also helped me after the passing of both of them four years ago. I was very appreciative. Jim was a very intelligent man. God bless you, Jim!  🩵

The first time I ever met Jimmy he pulled out some homegrown tomatoes from his pocket and handed them to me. That’s the type of person he was. Kind, generous, and never met a stranger. Jimmy would always help others and never expected anything in return. We will miss him in the river run community. Every time we see a sunset over the pier or catch a fish we will think of Jimmy. To Jimmy’s family: I am so sorry for your loss. He was a kind soul and felt like family to all of us at River run. Sending you love and prayers during this unimaginable time of grief.
