Jimmy was more than a great friend to the Walker family, he was family to us. My husband and I were married in his front yard 20 years ago and he was the groomsman. He built a deck around his pool in the back for the reception and welcomed many guests into his home that day as well as many other days. When my dad Charlie was sick he was right there for him til the end and served as a pallbearer at his funeral. We had a lot of great times together over the years! We will forever love and miss you Jimmy D.

I’m so sorry Jimmy is no longer with us. He was a great guy who will be missed by many of us. God bless the Melton family.

Jimmy was a good friend in High School. Michael Johnson and I had a good time with Jimmy in his GTO our senior year. Rest in peace Jimmy on a life well lived!
