Jimmy Keith Ellington

Jimmy went home to the Lord on November 22, 2022 in Canton, Texas. He was born on January 8, 1950 in Ft. Worth, Texas to Nelson Ellington and Marcel Kelly Ellington.

Jimmy grew up in the Garland, Texas area and graduated from Garland High School. Jimmy loved life. He met and married his true love, Diane Harris in 1996. The couple enjoyed the good country life. They were long time members of Four Miles Lutheran Church in Mabank, Texas. Jimmy was happiest working outdoors; whether he was working/driving his tractor or his lawnmower. Jimmy was a man that would have your back, first one to volunteer to help someone or to do a project around the church. Jimmy never met a stranger; he enjoyed talking and visiting with people. Jimmy’s greatest pride was his grandchildren. The best days were days spent with family. Jimmy will be dearly missed but live on in the hearts and memories of all that knew and loved him.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Nelson Ellington and Marcel Ericson; brothers, Bobby Ellington and Tommy Ellington; and uncle, Jay Kelly.
