    I grew up with Jimmy, and Barney or Antny as Jimmy would call him. We all lived in Bluff Springs. Our summers were filled with horse back riding, swimming in the creek , and gravel lakes, corn cob wars in the loft of the barn an occasional wrestling match in someone’s front yard, and grilled cheese sandwiches. If you were ever at their house at lunch time Mrs. Cash would insist on you eating lunch with them. I remember the grilled cheese because when I was there Jimmy was the one doing the grilling. Years later we played basketball together on church team. Like all of us in life things change we grew up had families and lost touch, but I well always remember him as an individual who enjoyed life and was forever smiling. Rest in peace Jimmy and may the comforting hand of God be on the Cash family during this time.

    Jimmy was one-of-a-kind!! I will miss him dearly… He was married to my aunt and there wasn’t a time that I saw him that he didn’t make me laugh!! He will be missed and we ask for continued prayers for His mom, His father, His Wife, His step daughter and her husband and his precious grandsons, and his siblings and nieces and nephews and there precious children.

    Life is not guaranteed and sometimes we forget that in the blink of an eye God can call us home…. Rest in Peace my sweet Jimmy! Enjoy that new body that God so mercifully has given you!

    Just want to say my prayers go out to Jimmys wife and family. Jimmy lived not even a mile from me and it’s just so tragic that something like this happens so close to home. I’m so sorry to hear this. God bless his family.
