Jimmy was a hardworking, giving, big hearted guy that was always laughing and joking. He was the life of the party but could also be stubborn and set in his ways at times. He enjoyed fishing, football, old gospel music and especially slow country love songs.

Jimmy worked in commercial construction most of his life with different companies; TP&L, Chapman Construction, and Fred McCurley Enterprises to name a few. He was an extraordinary man that will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

He is survived by; sister Sandra Mooney of Tool, brother Bobby Lehew and wife Beth of Tyler, sister Paula Smith and husband David of Trinidad, brother-in-law Danny Bruce Davis of Kemp, special friends Johnny and Mary Murphy, numerous nieces, nephews, other loving family members, and many more friends.
