James Monroe Baggett

October 21, 2017

James “Jimmy” Monroe Baggett, 68, passed away on Friday, October 6, 2017, in Atmore, Alabama, where he was a longtime resident. He was born in Ranger, Texas on October 30, 1948, and graduated from Spring Branch High School in Houston. He lived in Pensacola, Florida before moving to Atmore. He was a remarkable storyteller with a wonderful sense of humor who loved fishing, country music, and movies. Jimmy firmly believed that cowboy boots were appropriate for any occasion and that Lonesome Dove could never be watched too many times. He selflessly helped his friends and family in any way he could and will be missed by all who knew him.

Jimmy is preceded in death by his parents, Theron Chester Baggett and Mabel Gladys Fendley Baggett.

He is survived by his sisters, Carolyn Gray and Barbara Huggins; brothers, Steve (Brenda) Hines, David (Susan) Baggett, and Dale (Marjorie) Baggett; daughter, Jenni Baggett; best friend, Joe Hubbard; and numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.

A memorial service will be held at Johnson Quimby Funeral Home on Tuesday, October 24, 2017 at 3 p.m. Memorial contributions may be made to Angels at Risk.
