He loved his Savior JESUS CHRIST, family, church, and friends, and always put Christ first in everything he did above all. He enjoyed bar-b-ques, hunting, fishing, church, and teaching all his grandkid's funny little jokes, sayings, and dangerous ways of fixing something the Pawpaw Jimmy way. He loved running his rabbit dogs, in which he "actually" cooked hot meals for, gardening, and raising all his animals.
