  1. Jimmie was the best neighbor we have ever had. He was always there when we needed him, we will always miss him.See you down the road dear friend !

  2. Jimmie was the love of my life. I miss him each and every day. He was such an exceptional person…loving and caring. Always tried to do the right thing !
    He would always cheer me up when the
    Storms of life got heavy. We would talk about our trust in Jesus and leaving the consequences to him.
    Till we meet again my love!

  3. Jimmy was such a kind loving man. We live in the neighborhood and are so very thankful we got to know Jimmy.
    He certainly loved his dogs, each and every one. His love for Jesus he frequently spoke of and his life showed this.
    We can’t go by his house without a sadness but we also know he is in a far better place where we will meet again.
