James (Jimmy) Donald Pellow

James (Jimmy) Donald Pellow, 54, died April 3, 2023, in Oklahoma City, OK. He was born February 3, 1969, in Oklahoma City, OK to John T. Pellow Sr. and Kay Lynn Fellers Sturm. He was a 1987 graduate of Edmond Memorial High School, attended the University of Oklahoma, and completed his Doctor of Chiropractic at Parker University in Dallas, TX.

Jimmy was a great athlete and succeeded competitively at a young age in tennis and wrestling. In high school, he was in Sub Crew and worked as a runner and Teamster at the Tinker Air Force base in OKC. He was an avid golfer and fisherman. He was President of his pledge class of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity and passionate about Oklahoma University Football. One of his favorite traditions was being with his fraternity brothers and family in Dallas for the OU vs. TX game. After college, Jimmy had a variety of sales positions in telecommunications and technology. He was the Manager of Sales Operations at BIS and, most recently, he was an Enterprise Sales Executive at Dell Computers.

Jimmy served in the United States Marine Corps and fought in the Operation Desert Storm War from 1990 – 1991. His courage and sacrifice in the military was highly respected and appreciated by all.

Jimmy’s charming personality and charisma were contagious and he quickly endeared himself to anybody he met. He was quick witted, silver tongued, and highly intelligent. He was a force to be reckoned with and will be terribly missed by so many who loved and were loved by him. Jimmy’s most treasured days were spent in his “Popo” tear-drop trailer traveling around the country and fly fishing with his best friends and brothers.

Jimmy is preceded in death by his mother, Kay Lynn Sturm of OKC.

He is survived by his parents John T. (and Sonja) Pellow of Edmond, Ed Sturm of OKC, brothers John (and Sandi) Pellow of Tulsa, Joe Pellow of OKC, sisters Ashley Adams (and Gene Harbort) of Scottsdale, AZ, Hilary (and Chris) Allen of Luther, Jennifer (and Don) Ford of Tulsa, his eight nieces and nephews and former wife, Katie Pellow.

Services will be held at 1:00 PM on Monday, April 10, at the Baggerley Funeral Home Chapel, 930 S Broadway, Edmond, OK 73034. The family invites his friends to a reception following the service.
