years at the age of 55. He also worked as a mover for Westside Moving Company and as a mechanic

Jimmie was a “master gardener” and could tell you anything you ever wanted to know about tomatoes,
corn, and more. He loved to talk and he never met a stranger. He had a love for life and the outdoors.
He was an avid hunter and fisherman and always had his fishing poles ready to go. He found strength in
his faith, as he and Joyce had been members of Abundant Life - The House of Mercy church for over 40
years. He will be deeply missed by his two pups he loved so much, Patches and Tooie.
