Jimmy worked for the City of Little Rock, Parks, and Recreation until he retired. He was soft-spoken and mild-mannered. He loved quoting scriptures from the Holy Bible. He also enjoyed basketball, football, and singing.

Jimmy was a joy to our family. He had a special love for the R&B performing group, the Spinners. He was considered shy and reserved by some, however, it was not unusual for him to belt out many of the Spinner's greatest hits during a family function, Serenade an older family member and fill their heart with joy.
