A wonderful son to his father, and a very kind man. I did not know him well but appreciated the fact that he communicated throughout his father’s last days to me who was a high school classmate of his Dad. Condolences to his wife, family and friends. Leila Davis Gosney

Jimmy loved to learn.
with the hunger of someone who believed the world was worth understanding.
New ideas lit him up.
Good questions excited him.
He was always growing.
He had a sharp, witty sense of humor.
The kind that disarms you,
the kind that reminds you that life is heavy
but laughter is how we carry it.
He was left handed,
which means his brain was wired a little differently.
More intuitive.
More creative.
Better at seeing what others missed.
He was not polite with the truth.
He was loyal to it.
He did not tell you what you wanted to hear.
He told you what you needed to hear because he respected you enough to be real.
He was wise.
Kind.
Patient.
Highly intelligent.
A natural problem solver.
When things went wrong,
people looked for him
because he knew how to make things right.
He was a fighter.
Not for ego,
but for what mattered.
For the people he loved.
For what he believed was right.
Above all,
he loved his wife with his whole heart.
Not casually.
Not quietly.
But with gratitude and awe.
He knew exactly what he had,
and he never stopped saying so.
Some people drift through life.
He did not.
He grabbed it with both hands.
He laughed hard.
He cared fiercely.
He showed up.
A man like Jimmy does not disappear.
He leaves echoes.
In our courage.
In our honesty.
In our loyalty.
In the way we love the people who matter.
The best way we honor him
is to live the way he did
with truth,
with loyalty,
with curiosity,
with love.
