Jimmy Ray McSpaddin

Jimmy Ray McSpaddin went to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, November 1, 2023, at the age of 71. He was born in Phenix City, Alabama, and was a resident of Kenner, Louisiana. He attended Fortier High School and graduated from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary with a degree in Bachelor of General Studies. In addition, he served in the Louisiana Army National Guard. He was so proud to say that he came from the Irish Channel in New Orleans, where he resided while growing up. He enjoyed having pool parties in his backyard with family and close friends, as long as it didn’t interfere with watching LSU and Saints games. He also loved going on last-minute road trips for relaxation and fun.
