He graduated from Southern High School in 1971. Jimmy began working for Pepsi as a delivery driver. Over time he took a job at the American Tobacco Company where he met many lifelong friends. His daughter describes him as a friendly, funny and caring man who never met a stranger.

Jimmy was a witty individual who loved all sports especially The North Carolina Tarheels. He was also a pretty good baseball player in his youth. He had good eye hand coordination as he was the first or second ranked player in the county with the highest batting average each year of high school. He love to take his daughter out to the old Durham Bulls ballpark to watch a game. He was an active and dedicated member of Lowes Grove Baptist Church for most of his life.
