Jimmy always had a smile on his face, and he had a wonderful sense of humor. He was a courageous man who survived many trials and tribulations that life through at him. The word “Can’t” was not in his vocabulary. His favorite saying was “half measures avail you nothing.” He lived life to its fullest and had a lot of fun. Jimmy was an outdoorsman. Mushroom hunting, riding ATVs, fishing, and anything to do with water including jet skiing and swimming. He was always up for any kind of adventure, and he loved to travel. He was generous to a fault and would help anyone with anything at any time. He never knew a stranger. Jimmy loved his friends and family deeply and he will be missed by all who were blessed to know him. He Knew Jesus as his Lord and savior and shared his faith as much as he could.
