Jimmy Earl Kyzer Sr., 86, of Jacksonville, Arkansas, passed away on December 5, 2025. He was born January 5, 1939 to the late Johnie and Rose Nell Kyzer. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Linda Davis, grandson, Jacob Kyzer, brothers, Sonny Kyzer and David Kyzer, and sisters, Verna Joyner, Betty Harvey, Jane Reynolds, and Becky Kyzer.
A man known for his strong work ethic, steady presence, and deep love for his family, Jimmy dedicated his life to the produce business—a trade he proudly committed himself to following his fathers footsteps.
Jimmy truly loved to work, and even more, he loved sharing that work with his family. Some of his proudest moments were having his grandchildren beside him on the job, teaching them not only how to work but why hard work mattered. Those lessons—passed down through long days, early mornings, and simple moments—became a defining part of his legacy.
He was happiest behind the wheel of his big truck or outdoors, especially when hunting with his grandkids and great-grandkids. Those trips, full of stories, laughter, and tradition, created memories that will be treasured for generations.
Jimmy is survived by his loving wife of 69 years, Delolar Kyzer, children,Jimmie Gail Cooper (Bill), Jeanna Whitley, and Jimmy “Bubba” Kyzer Jr. (Theresa); six grandchildren; fifteen great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild; As well as siblings, Tony Kyzer, Linda Heffner, Glenda Fletcher, Johnnie Sherman, Shirley Simmerly, and Elaine Scudder. His legacy lives on through each of them—through their stories, their laughter, and the values he instilled.
His presence will be deeply missed, but the impact of his hard work, dedication, and love will continue to carry forward for generations

I hadn’t seen Mr Jimmy in a number of years but I remember him always being such a good man. My condolences and prayers for his family.
Jimmy was loved by all who knew him and will be missed by many. I know he is in a better place for eternity. Rest in Peace. Prayers and condolences for the family.
Great man and a great family. I’ve missed our talks over the last several years. Doubt either one of us could remember what we talked about but rest assured our combined knowledge could fix the worlds problems.. We thought so.
You’ll be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family any many friends. God Bless

Mr. Jimmy left behind a wonderful legacy in his kids, grandkids and great-grandkids—a hard-working, amazing group of people. I know he was as proud of his family as you alll are of him. I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m glad I got to see him from time to time…still present, still doing what he loved to do, well into his later years.
