Jimmy Carrol Bishop

Jimmy C. Bishop Sr. is survived by his wife, Letauiloai Bishop; children Cheryl Thompson, Jimmy C. Bishop Jr., Ricky Lee Bishop, and Larry Wayne Bishop; grandchildren John Escamilla, Jesiah and Janelle Thompson, Ricky Lee Bishop Jr., Brandon and Dakota Bishop; great-grandchildren Karter and Kaison Bishop; mother Evelyn Parker; siblings Shirley Watson, Kay Bishop, Larry Bishop, Willard Bishop, and Jerry Parker.

Jimmy had many loves in his life, with God and his family at the top of the list. He worked long and endless hours to ensure his family’s well-being. In addition to that, he was an active and devoted member of Holy Tabernacle. He was highly regarded and beloved for the sacrifices and commitments he made for every member of his church family.

Jimmy had many favorite hobbies. He was well known for his love of collectible items. He proved that “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” was much more than just a cliché. He also loved fishing and bowling, especially with his family. He taught everyone the importance of family and proved it with every second of every minute of his life. He never hesitated in offering up his home when anyone needed shelter. He embodied the Godly aspect of being a Christian long before he joined any church.

While Jimmy’s family is immensely grateful that he is now at peace and no longer in pain after years of his struggle with cancer, he leaves behind a hole that will never be filled. We will continue to maintain Jimmy’s legacy through his children and grandchildren, which – along with our endless memories – will help us to never forget. We love you Jimmy. Thank you for everything.
