Jimmy was a larger-than-life person. Everything he did he did big. He worked harder than anyone and had a work ethic he took very seriously and expected the same out of everyone around him. He had a huge heart and was willing to help anyone at any time. He was a big giver. He loved to give his money and time and especially his opinion. One of his favorite things was taking people out to eat and he would never take no for an answer on who paid the bill. He loved BIG! If Jimmy loved you, he made sure you knew it. Jimmy struggled with drug addiction for years and became clean and sober thirteen years ago, and would freely share his testimony with others and helped countless others who were struggling with addiction. He loved Jesus Christ and he loved his family.
