  1. Jimmy you were always a inspiration to me being 9 years younger than you, you always helped me train harder and live even harder. When i would start to want to quit somehow you always knew and showed up to push me past my limits not just with training but with life. I owe alot to you and even though we never hung out like that you were always right there when things got tough. Im gonna miss you dearly thank you for all you showed me and all you taught me. Rest easy my brother.

  2. Long Live OG, his energy lives through all of those he has touched. An example of a man I wish to one day grow up to be, an Alpha, leader of the pack. OG isn’t too far, he’s watching over his loved ones.

  4. You were taken from us way to early my dear nephew. When you were born I was 11 years old and I never knew you as my very special first nephew, but I saw you as my sweet younger brother. We were very close at that time growing up together seeing that your mom was so young at that time also. Through the years you strived and became the strong fighter in this crazy game of life and a good provider and family man to Pam and your children. Even though I moved away years ago please remember that I was always proud of you and always will be.
    All my love always,
    Aunt Gigi💔
