Jimmy was a dedicated Christian serving as Song Leader of Bokoshe First Baptist Church and living a life witnessing and helping others. No matter where he went, he never met a stranger and always tried to leave a positive impression on how to treat others. He loved to fish, hunt, and tell stories about the good old days. He was a proud Retired Peabody Coal Miner. He put God and his family first in all things. He worked hard to make things as easy as possible for everyone. He will be missed greatly but we all know that he has a better place to go fishing today as he waits for the rest of us to join him in that Beautiful Place prepared for us if we only chose and believe in our Most Precious Heavenly Father.
