FELTON - Jimmy went to be with the Lord suddenly on Sunday, Dec. 11, 2016. Born Dec. 7, 1982, Jimmy was a beloved son, brother, father, uncle and friend to hundreds of people. He had a deep passion for music and was one of the most talented drummers who had ever sat behind a set of drums. Anyone who had an opportunity to hear him play would agree. He was the drummer for several local bands which include, Semi-blind, Another Vicious Cycle, Seventh Seal, The Davis Holiday Band, Petting Hendrix and Ice Station Zero, to name a few. He worked as an independent contractor in the construction field. He was also a licensed bartender. In school Jimmy had achieved a presidential academic achievement award and had achieved the honor roll several times. He enjoyed spending quality time with his children and family, fishing, crabbing, riding on his motorcycle, going to rock concerts and moshing in a metal pit.
