He was a Cisco Certified Network Associate, and he enjoyed working on cars. Jimmy was both a hands on mechanical guy and a well educated thoughtful man. Kind was his middle name. He would frequently give a hand to a friend in need. He was mom’s handyman and his grandmother’s emergency responder! Jimmy was a very bright, kind, and loyal friend to many. He enjoyed hiking and marveling at the wonders of nature. Perhaps his greatest joy came from his time spent with nephew, Ansel.
