At First Baptist, Jimmy was a very active member, serving as a Deacon, on numerous church committees, as well as volunteering with vacation bible school, driving the church bus on Sunday, and serving wherever else he was needed or called upon to serve. Jimmy was the ultimate example of a great Christian man, serving the Lord, his family and others.
