Miss my Uncle Jimmy ,he was always the life of the party at family reunion. Telling jokes and making up.games. prayers for his family.🙏

Bobby and I are so saddened to hear of James’s passing. We just found out a few minutes ago and are so sorry we missed his service. James was such a special man. He was a really good friend to Bobby. They enjoyed each other’s company. We are thinking of you and pray that God will comfort you. We will miss you James.

I can never totally explain my unbelievable joy I felt back 15 or so years ago when I finally caught up with one of my very favorite cousins. I had lost contact with him because of living in another state and not getting to attend all our family gatherings. But, when my late husband “ Frank”and I finally found Jimmy it was wonderful. We live in another town but always tried to come see him at his business quiet often. He was always full of joy and happiness. He and I had so many past experiences with our “Beck” family. I was maybe 10 when we first remember knowing each other and Jimmy was about 18 getting ready to marry the love of his life  Colene.  We would see each other with our families at my Great Grandmother Beck’s and Jimmy’s Grandmother Beck’s home. They were such good times I just have to mention them now. When we got together again we did so much reminiscing and it was wonderful. I got to meet his Theresa and some of his other immediate family members. I am so sad I will not be seeing him anymore here but the best news of all is we will meet again in Heaven and get to see OUR Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I do pray all Jimmy’s family and friends will be able to see him again in heaven also. God Bless all that knew this wonderful humble man. 
I love you Jimmy.  Diane Kirkus Hazzard

Jimmy is my uncle, we were only three years apart in age.  My sister Jo was four years older than Uncle Jimmy.  We didn't grow in the same household but sort of grew up like brother and sisters. Uncle Jimmy was the sweetest, nicest persom you could possibly want to meet.  Several years ago, I think he was driving back from Uncle Jessie's funeral in Fla.  He stopped by my house, I think it was on Sunday.  We had moved from N C to South Carolina.  We toured the TV Station where I worked and during the tour we watched the early evening news cast live and sitting in the studio.  He really enjoyed that tour and our visit and I enjoyed it because he was so pleased  to have that opportunity.  He mentioned that Sunday several when we see each other at family gatherings.  Uncle Jimmy loved his family and he loved GOD.  We don't need to wonder where Uncle Jimmy is today. He is with his Savior.

Jimmy was my back pew buddy. He can't be replaced. I will miss him dearly. Rest in peace my friend and some day I will join you.
