Born January 27, 1984, in Mansfield to James K. and Rita L (Pence) Cushing, he was a lifelong Mansfield resident and a 2002 graduate of Mansfield Senior High.

Jimmy enjoyed watching racing and going to racing events, attending the World 100 at Eldora Speedway every year. He also enjoyed fishing with his dad and daughters, boating on Lake Erie, playing corn hole, playing cards, gambling, listening to rock and country music and speaking in riddles.
