Jimmy Darrell Borum

Jimmy Darrell Borum, 64, of Fort Smith, AR passed away on June 26, 2022 in his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born on July 20, 1957 in Fort Smith to Duron and Katherine Borum. Jimmy married Patricia (Patty) Stanfill on September 16, 1977. They were married 44 years and have two children, Candace and Heath.

Jimmy spent his career in the trucking industry. He owned and operated dump trucks for Arkhola Sand & Gravel for over 25 years. He then opened T.B.G. Equipment Company in 2000 and maintained it until his cancer diagnosis in 2013. After completing treatment, Jimmy retired and spent most days with Heath at his shop in Greenwood, working on his collection of cars and motorcycles and visiting with family and friends who stopped by.

He is survived by his wife, Patty; his daughter, Candace Lea and husband Trent of Fayetteville and their 2 daughters, Camryn and Emerson; his son, Heath and wife Loren of Fort Smith and their children, Corbin and Collins and one brother, David Borum and wife Debbie of Fort Smith.

Jimmy fought a courageous nine-year battle with lung cancer and never complained. God gave him the gift of time to create lasting memories with each of his four grandchildren. Jimmy lived life to the fullest! He was loved by many and will be greatly missed.

A “Celebration of Life” will be held in Jimmy’s honor at Festivity Event Center in Fort Smith on Tuesday, July 12, 2022 from 6pm-9pm. Feel free to drop-in or stay and visit a while. Our family looks forward to hearing and sharing special memories of this wonderful man.

A special thank you to his hospice nurse, Lacey Chamberlain, and Heart of Hospice for helping us fulfill Jimmy’s wishes.
