Miss you so much Jimmy! You are with the loves of your life, Jesus and your Parents. Thank you for all the good memories Cuz. I will never forget you Primo! I think about you and your Mom all the time. May you be waiting for us with open arms. Lisa de Tio Poncho

We first met working at little Ceasars Pizza,  through the years we kept in touch,  we both went College for different things  but I brought him into doing  Dialysis,  I moved to Roswell NM but kept in touch  we have been friends since 1987  I will miss him dearly 

My heart still aches knowing that Jimmy is no longer on this earth, but with our Lord.  I grew up with Jimmy, going to the same church and High School.  I was closer in age to Belinda and he was closer in age to my sister Beth.   So we didn’t talk much, but we would acknowledge each other when in the same room.  To me, he seemed to be the quiet one of his brothers, but he was the sweetest, kindest person i ever met.  Rest In Peace Jimmy.  Even though we didn’t speak in a daily basis, just know that you’ll be truly missed.

Thanks for the laughs and a shoulder to lean on. You’ll be missed, my friend.

I remember Jimmy always with a smile and a great sense of humor.  I didn't get to know him as well as I would have liked but I know he was very loved by family and friends. All my love to the Hardy and Romero family. May God comfort you all and give you peace.

My friend James was one of my biggest supporters and encouragers of my creative life. Any time he’d introduce me, he’d say, “this is my friend Denise, and she’s a great artist”. He always credited me with having an open soul and spirit. James often asked for stories of my rebellion, loved that I tried tagging when I was studying art in college and carried a backpack of Krylon & permanent markers. He thought it was hilarious that even though my mission was to tag a building, I couldn’t do it because I was too thoughtful and considered the walls were also works of art in architecture and masonry workers, lol I tagged streets, rusted metal and wood boards... My tag was 218stars, a tag that would incriminate me because it’s my birth date... 
He laughed at my adventures, admired my independence from norms, he loved that I studied Mormon, read the Koran, attended Catholic Bible studies and recently, began studying Buddhism and speaking regularly with a Buddhist monk. All of which enriched my faith in Catholicism. We read books together in his living room and listened to music he wanted me to hear, mostly Christian faith or Spanish rock. I introduced bottles of 99Vines moscato or Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling, with that lead to conversation with laughter, anger, tears, and many times dancing... isn’t that what friendship is??? Friends are blessings! 
The family selected this picture for his obituary and this is when I really cried, he had a couple of these shirts and winked at me when he’d wear them. We fought, we laughed, held grudges, had opposition, but no matter what, we accepted our truths and let eachother be. He was a fan of me, he was passionate about my place in life, he knew my heart -even when it was hard to understand. I will miss him the rest of my life... ✨💫🌙🪐

Thank you Caleb (Roy), Belinda, Hiram... I was blessed to know and truly love your brother, he was my family too... always in my prayers, you are all in my heart...
