He was born in Sidney, Ohio on June 12, 1943 and passed away peacefully in his sleep in Rossville, GA on May 18, 2020.
After graduation, Jim worked as an electrician in several locations in Ohio, Kansas and Louisiana.
Jim is survived by his 6 children: Jimmy Herbert, Jr of Kansas, Paul (Kate) Herbert of Kansas, Ron Hammons of Texas, Rhonda Lewis of Mississippi, Randy (Margie) Herbert of Texas, Shelly Stein of Texas, 14 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, his brothers: Jerry (Ethel) Herbert and Kenny (Carolyn) Herbert both of Ohio, 2 sisters: Janice (Loren) Britt of Ohio, Carolyn (Dan) Cregan of Florida and many nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his parents Charles & Lillian Louise Herbert, 3 brothers Larry Hodges of Arkansas, Robert “Bob” Hodges of Ohio, Edward Herbert of Ohio, 1 sister, Jean Sloan of Kansas, and 1 grandson Cristian Hammons of Texas.
Jim enjoyed fishing and car racing and spent many hours in his own racecar on many tracks. NASCAR was his favorite sport and he spent many hours watching it. As an electrician and mechanic there was nothing that he couldn’t fix, although after his “repairs” he usually had a bucket of parts left over that “he didn’t need”.
Jim loved to laugh and have fun. If you were around him, you couldn’t help but smile.
He will be greatly missed by so many who knew and loved him.
Jim – We will see you again in heaven!
