Jimmy was baptized one summer while at Blue Baptist Vacation Bible School, and attended the Hillside Baptist Church, of Harrah. While raising his two sons, he enjoyed helping with the coaching baseball on their leagues, living the country life, with a hobby of mechanic for just about everyone who needed his help.  He adored his parents, siblings, kids, and Grandkids. Jimmy’s past time favorite was cooking out and a having a few cold beers after a long day of hard work.    One of his favorites pranks was to call his sisters or brothers around midnight or beyond for a laugh and tell them I love you; you can sleep tomorrow! 

He attended Blue Grade School and Midwest City High school, a member of the Pipeliners Union 798, where he worked as a welder helper on several projects, later in life he changed professions and joined the concrete and brick layers union in Oklahoma City, where he was instrumental in the construction of many major developments.

People who knew Jimmy will remember him as a strong will, stand-up man, straight forward, lived life his way, who would help anyone or give you the shirt off his back, and did! He did not see color or status of people, ask nothing in return, a good kindhearted man.

His family would like to thank all his friends, and relatives, The OU Medical Center, Kickapoo Health Center, Peggy & Charles Cancer Center, Frontier Hospice, and The Chickasaw Hospital for the care and support of his health needs, happy thoughts, and prayers during this time.  He will surely be missed by us all.
