Jimmy was born in Fort Worth, Texas, on December 4, 1945. He attended North Side High School. He retired from the Texas Department of Transportation as a dispatcher after twenty-five years. He worked for the Sheriff’s Department and also did security work.

Jimmy loved to deer hunt and was an avid gun collector. He once shot and eld 7x7 score 380 Boone & Crockett. He said—after shooting it—he was known as “one shot/one kill.” Jimmy had a wonderful sese of humor.

Jimmy lived at the Courtyards of Lake Granbury for eleven years. Due to his kind heart and witty personality, he was always a favorite of the staff there. Jimmy was loved by many. He never had an unkind word to say about anyone. He never failed to say “thank you” to anyone who did anything for him. He was generous to a fault. He will be greatly messed.

Jimmy’s final resting place will be at the Johnsonville Cemetery next to his wife, Terry. He has waited twenty-two years to finally be with her in Heaven.
