Jimmy worked at WireCo in Sedalia as an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic. He was a member of the NRA and the Sedalia Rod & Gun Club. Jimmy enjoyed many things. In his younger years his Dad (Dean) taught him how to shoot & later became a Missouri State Champion Black Powder Shooter. He loved to fly fish and go snagging. He learned to use a fly rod, with a $10 pole, in a matter of minutes. Jimmy enjoyed hunting. He had the best luck and couldn’t keep him in the stand an hour before he had filled a tag. He loved shooting sports and in later years started shooting sporting clays regularly with buddies. He also enjoyed motocross, racing, camping, and boating. At a very young age Jimmy started taking things apart to rebuild them bigger and better; later building his own rock climbing dune buggy. There wasn’t anything Jimmy couldn’t fix. He was known to be a mechanical genius. He was funny. He always did what he could to make someone laugh and smile. He loved his nephew & nieces unconditionally.
