Jimmie L. Atchison III, 40, passed peacefully on Saturday, October 10, 2020 surrounded by his family. Jimmie was born May 2, 1980 in Houston, Texas and was dearly loved by his parents Jimmie and Mary Atchison. He is preceded in death by his grandparents: Jimmie and Gertrude (Gertie) Atchison and James (Jim) and Phyllis Kyd.
Jimmie graduated from Langham Creek High School in 1998 where he made lifelong friends and deepened his love of sports.
He attended several Texas colleges and with his charismatic charm and ‘gift of gab’ settled into a successful sales career.
On November 22, 2008, Jimmie married the love of his life, Sarah Black. They were blessed to have two beautiful children Ryan (11) and Avery (10) whom they love beyond measure.
Jimmie never met a stranger and was always able to strike up a conversation with anyone about anything; however, his favorite topic was sports…ALL SPORTS! This gentle, loving, caring and wonderful soul left a permanent mark on everyone he met and will be deeply missed by so many. He will be forever remembered for his comedic wit, bright smile, gentle caring spirit and unconditional love he gave so freely. In addition to all of these admirable qualities, each of us can only aspire to his ability to genuinely care, connect and stay in contact with his countless lifelong friends, close and extended family members… making each one feel especially loved and important to him. Although our hearts are heavy, we will celebrate his life and find comfort knowing that he is in heaven watching over us and reminding us all to Carpe Diem.
Jimmie is survived by his parents Jimmie & Mary Atchison, his favorite ex-wife Sarah Atchison, children, Ryan and Avery, sister Ashlie Atchison and fiancé Michael Bowen, brothers Phillip Atchison, Michael Howard and Jaimie Soriano, bonus sister Shelsea Sain and nephew Sawyer, aunts and uncles; Burl and Cara Atchison, Monica and David Pali, Mark and Beverly Atchison, Betty Johnson, Lia and Mark Demuth, Michael and Mimi Bagnasco and Susan Fox, cousins, Logan and Lisa Atchison and their daughter Lucy, Taylor Atchison, Glen Atchison, Kristine and Dillon Briley and their son Owen, Justin Pali, Charlie and Ashli Johnson and their children Charlie Dean and Rhiannon, Lindsay and Ryan Quinn, Ali and David Roraback, Gabi and Victor Ramirez, Michael and Kassi Bagnasco, Olivia Bagnasco and fiancé Zachary Coates and Vivian Fox.
