Jimmy Law

Born James Tillman Law in Washington, DC on March 15th,1955 to Gerald and Betsy Law who both were waiting on him when he rode through the gates.

He grew up in his family home in Montross, Virginia, the same home where he spent his final days.

He was born into a family that loved motorcycling. His mother and father brought all three of their children home on that first motorcycle a 1952 Indian Chief. David first with mother holding him sitting sidesaddle. When Gerald and Betsy learned of their second child's conception they added a sidecar which was Jimmy's ride home after his birth mother holding baby Jimmy and brother David. When sister, Tina was born the now family of five all came home on that Indian and sidecar.

Jimmy's dad often put Little Jimmy and his brother in the saddlebags of his Indian and rode them around.

The love of motorcycling became the road that his life always knew. Jimmy was a legend among his friends and would be the first to tell you he was legendary even if it was in his own mind.

Jimmy left home at a young age to become a skilled carpenter. He lived in Woodbridge for a few decades making friends and memories. He moved to Fredericksburg after that, buying a 100-year-old farmhouse on the property that had a building "big enough" to fill floor to ceiling with bikes and parts and memorabilia.

He enjoyed going to bike rallies like Sturgis and Daytona. He spent a lot of time with his brother David in Daytona, eventually building a garage with an overhead apartment next to his brother's home. After retiring he traveled to swap meets buying and selling all things Indian and Harley.

Jimmy leaves behind his only son, James Timothy Law of Fredericksburg. He would want the world to know that one of his best memories was taking his father and son to an Indian Days Parade and each of them riding an old Indian in it, being the only 3 generation entry. He also leaves behind his brother, David and his wife Chris of Holly Hills, Florida; his sister, Tina and her husband, Calvin of Montross, who cared for him in his final days.

When Jimmy's health battles brought cancer into the fight, Jimmy decided he was going to be "Happy Happy Happy" and not pursue any treatment to prolong his journey. True to his beliefs that is exactly what he told friends. " Happy Happy Happy".

Jimmy also leaves behind so many friends which he rode with for many many miles and it is important that they all know they are recognized and remembered. He would want you to remember him and be happy happy happy.

Jimmy's son James wanted to ask his dad's many friends to share photographs for the memorial to see and for him to cherish forever. please email them to [email protected]
