Jimmy was a native and lifelong resident of Augusta. He was a 1987 graduate of Westside High School and attended Augusta College before leaving to pursue a career in landscaping, which was his true passion.
To those who knew him, he will be remembered for his kind and loving heart, infectious laugh, funny stories, love for children, and a smile that would melt your heart. He was a wonderful loving son, brother, and friend to everyone he met.
His light will not pass this way again, but his memory will live forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
