Jimmy was born in Roanoke, VA and then moved to Kingsport, TN as a child. He met his soul mate, Tammy, at the age of 17 where it was love at first site. They were quickly married after school. He was a loving husband, a provider for his family and a wonderful father. His son, Scotty, was his best friend and they loved to go hunting, fishing, and riding horses together. Later in life, he enjoyed watching his grandson play travel league baseball and he never missed a game. He loved life, loved to joke around with his family and friends and he had a big heart for everyone. Remembering you will always be easy, but missing you will be the heartache that will never go away.
