He was an avid hunter and fisherman. Glenda and Jimmy were members of the Unity Freewill Baptist Church in Mazie, OK.

Jimmy's family was the center of his life. His favorite times were family cookouts.

The kids gave it back to Jimmy with the nickname, "Grandpa Chicken Butt" and telling him not to be a "Crabby Patty" while in the hospital.
