Rest in peace, Mr. Summers.  You were the soul of kindness.  

I don't remember the year I Mr Summers.  I just know he always shared a smile and a hello.
I saw him almost every morning for 8 years while I worked at McDonalds.
May you rest in peace and soar be with your new wings.
You will be dearly missed.  Each time I see a vehicle like yours I will definitely think you.
Redt in peace my dear friend.

Mr. Jimmy Summers... 
I will always remember you! I loved seeing you every day at school growing up, with your cup of coffee and a giant smile. And always ready with a big hug!! We could always hear you coming down the hall with your keys jingling on your hip! I feel bad for those who will never know what the sound of your keys jingling meant! A big smile and hug coming your way about to change your day! 

When I told you I was joining the Air Force almost 13 years ago you said I was too pretty and kind... but if I really must join to not let the military change me from who I really am, and to NEVER LOSE my smile! And you're very proud of who I was going to become and you were sure I would do great things in the Air Force you just knew it! (Thank you for believing in me!)
You shook my hand so strongly and gave me the tightest hug! You told me to always be the strongest but be the kindest heart! I never understood what you meant until I got older... Thank you for being such a wonderful person and influence in my life and so many others from our tiny little town! 

My condolences to your family. You will be sorely missed by many! 

RIP Mr. Summers!

Mr. Summers you had a smile that lit up the room. During the 28 years that I lived in Needles you could always depend on kind words and a while whenever you saw Mr. Summers.  You will be remembered and missed. God bless the family. 

I am at a loss for words 💔💔😥 I've known Mr. Summers my whole life. He was never without a smile...One of the few Great men that made life seem just that much more pleasant growing up in Needles...You will be truly missed Mr. Summers, rest easy and don't forget your coffee...💔❤💔❤💔❤

Mr. Summers, there wasn't a day I didnt share a hug or a laugh or carry on a great conversation with this man! He had a way with words & make your day! A doctor I worked for in Fort Mohave he would or what not, he would check him or his wife in & go over to VVMC for his coffee come back & carry on with whatever was going on! This "Little Red" will miss his honest self and everything he stood for! Mr. Summers you will always been a Mustang & a Legend who has done alot for Needles as far as being a Hero & that many ppl that look up to you including myself! RIP honest angel!❤💙💜

Needles has lost a wonderful man who was always smiling & had kind words. I would see him getting coffee & he always spoke. REST IN PEACE Mr. Summers. Love & Prayers for his family.

I got to know Jimmy when I was working the Restaurants here in town he would come in for Coffee every morning sit in the same place on the counter and I would talk to him every time he came in. I have a great memory of Jimmy I got promoted to Manager and was in still only about 21 years old and I had to wear a nice shirt and tie to work. The problem was I did not know how to Tie a Tie. I went to Jimmy house over by Grace Henderson and asked him to show me how. He did and he would always check on me he taught me about single knots and double knots Ties. I always looked for Jimmy cause we were friends when I was at work we used to laugh a lot. Jimmy was a good man and I will always remember him. My Condolences to his family.

Jimmy was a great guy who knew no strangers.. He was so pleasant to visit with and Larry and him would sit and chat for hours over everything and nothing he just loved people Jimmy did.

Jim was always a genuine good guy......he was a Needles oldie but goody!!! So sad when you see one of the good guys pass..
I remember him working at the school also had many laughs with him at Wagon Wheel Restaurant as I poured his coffee.....Rest easy Jim.....we will not forget you!!! Much love to his family........

I can't remember a time that Mr. Summers didn't have a smile and kind thing to say. He was a staple in my childhood memories from school. He will surely be missed!

We met Jim over 63 years ago........we were friends since then......He always had time to "CHAT" and visit with us, wherever we met each other...............we will always remember his "KINDNESS and HUGE HEART.  We remember his 1957 Ford Convertible (Black and Gold) ........Jim was certainly "ONE OF A KIND" !

Mr. Summers was always there with a big smile and a big hug!! I loved seeing him at school everyday growing up. My prayers and thoughts with your family! 

Jimmy was a stranger to know one! Rest peace my friend!💜

Sincerest condolences to the family and friends. Times like this can bring unbearable pain. God promises to give us relief from pain and suffering  he also plans to reverse the affects of death. May this bring you comfort as you continue to cherish the memories of your love one. Revelation 21:3,4
