My deepest sympathies to Jimmy's family and friends. I was lucky enough to know him for just a little while. I only talked to him a few times during the last few months, but I always enjoyed it when he came to visit my husband. He was very easy to make laugh and liked to share his smile and sense of humor. I am so sorry for your loss, my heart goes out to you in these sad days ahead.
I never saw Jim without a smile... a rare & special person indeed. Sorry to those who were close and will miss him every day... May God bless you and keep you close to Him during your sadness.
The few times I hung out with Jimmy in high school he was a fun likeable guy. I remember him mostly as the guy that always had a smile on his face in the halls. My condolensces to Kim Ashley and everyone that loved him.
The few times I talked with Jimmy were all during happy events. Camping, babies, weddings and of course talking about guns. I have nothing but good memories of Jim and hope he meets me when my turn comes.
I remember in high school he was a goofy nice guy. He was always having fun and he was fun to be around. The world lost a great person. My condolences to his family.
