Jimmy was very active in his community. Jimmy and his wife Pat lived in Sunrise Lake Community for the last ten years where he spent many years serving as a trustee. Jimmy enjoyed cutting grass, doing repairs and getting out and talking to all the residents. Jimmy was always an outdoors person. He loved fishing and gardening. You would often just find him sitting outside drinking a cup of coffee enjoying the sunshine. Jimmy loved to meat goulash and make fired potatoes and corn cakes and potato cakes for his family. He enjoyed family bbq’s, cards and just hanging out with his family.  Jimmy and Pat had only recently decided to make the move and go south to live with their youngest in Texas. Jimmy loved walking along the beach and collecting shells. He enjoyed Galveston and loved riding the waves.

Jimmy Smith was very loved and will be missed by many. It was an honor to those who got to be with him during his final moments. Arrangements are being handled by Crowder Funeral Home in Webster, Texas. He will have service in his home church at Charter Baptist Church in DeSto, Missouri at a later date.
