Jimmy grew-up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland riding four-wheelers, hunting, fishing and enjoying time with friends and family all across the state. He loved going to the cabin in West Virginia with his father and family. As a teen Jimmy wrestled, boxed, raced lawnmowers, worked hard every day and was a fire cadet in his hometown fire company. After graduating high school, he went on to UNOH. While in Ohio he met the love of his life, Brittany. They married and have a beautiful baby girl, Ember Angelina. Together they bought a small mini farm and raised cattle, donkeys, chickens, and goats. He and Brittany were members of New Life Church International. He lived every minute of his life to the fullest. In his short 24 years he accomplished what many never manage in their lifetime. Jimmy never met a stranger and the people he met stayed his friends forever. He had a heart of gold, a smile that lit up the room, and an amazing laugh that filled our souls with joy. He will be missed by so many but his legacy will live on in our stories, actions, and in his beautiful baby girl.
