He was the kind of man who would drop everything in order to help someone in need. Jimmy graduated from Jimtown High School in 2011 and married the love of his life, Hadlee Creech, on June 26, 2021. He worked for Thor Motor Coach as a leader in receiving and was a hard worker with a passion for all things automotive. In his spare time, he enjoyed fixing old cars and anything else he could get his hands on. He loved seeing how certain equipment and cars operated and enjoyed the thrill of putting them back together. Jimmy&rsquo;s pride and joy was his Blue &rsquo;08 Mustang GT and his plow truck. When he wasn&rsquo;t working on cars, he enjoyed spending time with his beautiful wife, especially when they would take impromptu trips to the mountains together. Jimmy will be greatly missed by his loving family, friends, and all the lives he touched with his kindness.</p>
