Jimmy was in commercial refrigeration for over 30 years before being injured on the job and was unable to continue doing physical labor. He then became a "professional" Pawpaw for the last 13 years of his life. Being a Pawpaw was his most meaningful role. He was quiet, kind, and gentle with all of the grandkids and great-grandkids. He went above and beyond for anyone who needed help. Jimmy enjoyed spending time outside, working on random projects, and listening to Toby Keith music in the garage. His favorite place to be was at home with Amber and her girls; however, his happy place was Mt Nebo. His last trip to Mt Nebo was in the spring of 2023. Mt Nebo holds many memories for everyone in the family. Jimmy requested that some of his ashes to be buried next to Nancy in Throckmorton, Texas.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
