Mr. Jimmy Ray Matthews

Along with his parents Claude Turner Matthews and Margie Holland Matthews, Jimmy’s Uncles Jo and Clifton preceded him in death.

Jimmy spent many years working in construction as a carpenter. Construction was more of a hobby rather than a job to him. He was constantly working on something and offering a lending hand to anyone that needed it.

Jimmy also enjoyed working in his yard and garden, casting a line in the water, grilling and spending time with his family but most importantly his granddaughters.

Jimmy leaves behind his wife of 32 beautiful years, Lisa Parnell Matthews; Son, Dillon Ray Matthews of High point; Son, Joshua Ray Matthews of Orlando, FL. Granddaughters, Zayla Rain Matthews of Dunn and Audrey Skye McCorquodale of Dunn; Brothers, Johnny Ray Matthews (Judy) of Coats; and Jonathan Turner Matthews of Dunn. Jimmy is also survived by extended family and friends.
