His mother died when he was infant and Jimmy was adopted by James and Ella Mae Matthews and was raised in the Heineman community of Salters.

He began his working career as a custodian at C. E. Murray High School and after holding various jobs throughout his lifetime eventually found the job for which he was best suited.

This job he held until the death of Glascho in May of 2015.
At an early age, Jimmy joined and attended Union Missionary Baptist Church in Salters with his mother.
