Jimmy was a very kind and loving soul. He touched and blessed so many with just his sweet presence in their lives. He had a very generous, giving and trusting heart. He always took care of those in great need without hesitation. His Great Faith in The Lord always guided and directed his life. His simple desire in life was to be an obedient Servant of Christ. We know he has greatly fulfilled his God Given Purpose. Rest now our dear precious brother in the loving arms of Our Lord and Savior. Your Reward Shall Be Ever So Great In Heaven. Until we are together again, You Will Be Forever Loved and Missed Beyond Measure.
