Online Condolences |
Our deepest sympathy to the family. Jimmy was a very good man that will be dearly missed. I personally will miss the cute little snicker that he did, the (yup)answer and the shooting that we did. We had a lot of fun over the years and now it's Gods turn to have the fun we did. I personally we remember the time we moved his mom to Z-Hills and Jimmy was driving the U-Haul, I was in the middle and Donnie was on the passenger side. You would have tough Jimmy was driving a tanker truck and everyone was in his way. I was holding on for dear life but in the end we all ended up laughing so hard. Jimmy was the kindest hearted person that I ever knew and a very fun person to be around. May God take very good care of our dear father, brother and friend.
We love you very much Jimmy,

| For the Jim Havens family: Our hearts and prayers are with you, Jim was a very special part of our family, we feel very priviledged that he shared some fantastic experiences with our group. He had such a generous nature that it seemed he would forget to reserve a little for himself. Please take comfort in the fact that he loved generously, and truly lived the philosophy of caring for his fellow man, the most admirable of all qualities in the eyes of God. Wish we could be there to hug all of you! We loved Jim so very much and we know how much all of you loved him, if there is anything we could do to ease the hurt we are always here. You are a wonderful family! Thank you for sharing Jim with us. Uncle Dale's note to Jim: FISH ON!!!! Love, Dale and Jean Emerick |
Our condolence to Jimmi's family.
Jimmi was more like a brother to me than a cousin,
as you all know, he would give his shirt off his back to you.
A man with a giant heart.
You Jimmi, will be saddly missed.
Your cousin, brother, and friend
