    We have known Jimmy since he was a young boy. He was always a pleasure to be around. he always had a warm smile that said he was glad to see you. Losing a child is the hardest thing that a parent will ever face in life. Jimmy will be missed by all who knew him. God bless him and his family.

    Jimmy was good people, was so glad I got to see him when I was home and went to the lake 2011, there he was standing on the side of the highway and we got to talk for a few minutes. The day he got his Ninja 600, he showed up in the driveway at my house, and the races were on. ***** on his GPZ,,,, racing over the hill on Geyer Springs driving at speeds over 130 miles per hour, Me Jimmy, *****, and Jay Hampson. I remember the night we should have died, but God graced us more time, I got 9 more lives. I was not there the day everyone got arrested for running from the cops across multiple counties, but that was the end of our crazy world. I joined the Army and left town, Jimmy went to work, I only saw Jimmy once after High School, that day on the side of the road, he still had that Jimmy smile we all loved. At least Jay is no longer alone in Heaven,,,,, Bryan Bondurant
