Jimmy Anthony

May 23, 1972 – September 23, 2026

Jimmy Dean Anthony, age 54, passed away on September 23, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of memories, laughter, and stories that will never be forgotten.

Jimmy was truly one of a kind. Known for his wild personality and larger-than-life presence, he had a way of making an impression wherever he went. Life with Jimmy was rarely quiet or boring, and those who knew him will remember the laughter, the stories, and the unforgettable moments that came along with knowing him.

Above all, Jimmy was a father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle, and a beloved member of a large and loving family. He leaves behind a family who will continue to carry his memory, share his stories, and remember the personality and spirit that made Jimmy unmistakably Jimmy.

Jimmy is survived by his daughters, Erika Haddikin and Heather Anthony; his son, Jimmy Dean Anthony Jr.; and his 12 grandchildren, who will carry a special part of him with them always.

He is also survived by his father, Jimmie Anthony; his stepmother, Sondra Anthony; his sisters, Terri Brister, Regina Beavers, Melissa MacNeill, Angela Anthony, and Jessica Anthony; his brothers, Corey Henson, Mike Dunn, Jerry O’Cain, and Marshall Frazier; his four nephews and nine nieces; as well as a host of extended family members and friends who knew and loved him.

Jimmy was preceded in death by his mother, Janice Faye Walker; his brother, Walter Anthony; his cousin, Shannon Mattingly; and his grandson, Mason Anthony. Their memories remain an important part of Jimmy’s story and the family he leaves behind.

Jimmy lived life on his own terms and in his own way, with a spirit that was uniquely his. His stories will continue to be told, his memory will continue to bring smiles, and his presence will be deeply missed by the family and friends who knew and loved him.

A visitation honoring Jimmy’s life will be held on Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Baldwin-Lee Funeral Home in Pearl, Mississippi. Family and friends are invited to come together to remember Jimmy, share stories, and celebrate the life he lived.

Gone from our sight, but never from our stories, our memories, or our hearts.
