Jimmy was also a devout member of the Fayetteville First Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon and Sunday school teacher.  He found great joy and fulfillment in serving his church and its congregation.

A service to honor Jimmy’s life and legacy will he held at 3:00 PM on Monday, September 23, 2024, at Fayetteville First Baptist Church in the Overton Chapel with Reverend Glenn Stringham officiating.  A burial will follow the service at Camp Memorial Park, Fayetteville.  The family will receive friends from 2:00-3:00 PM prior to the service at the church.
