Jimmy was much more than a cousin to me — he was one of my closest friends, my fishing partner, my golfing buddy, and someone who held a very special place in my heart. Being born on the same day, September 19th, nine years apart, created a bond between us that few cousins ever have the privilege of sharing.

Some of my most cherished memories are the countless hours we spent together fishing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, golfing, and sitting around a campfire sharing stories and songs. No matter how many people were gathered around, Jimmy and I always seemed to find ourselves stealing the show with our favorite duet, "Don't Cry Joni." Those moments of laughter, friendship, and pure joy are memories I will treasure forever.

As I reflect on a lifetime of memories, I realize that what made them so special wasn't what we were doing — it was who I was doing them with. Jimmy had a way of making every day better. He was kind, caring, generous, and always ready with a helping hand, a warm smile, or a good laugh. He touched the lives of so many people simply by being himself.

My heart is broken knowing that there will be no more fishing trips, no more rounds of golf, no more snowmobile rides, and no more campfire duets. The loss feels immeasurable because the love and friendship we shared were immeasurable too.

I will miss Jimmy more than words can express, but I am forever grateful for the gift of having him in my life. The memories we created together will remain in my heart always, and I will carry a part of him with me wherever I go.

Until we meet again, my dear Cuz.

My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to Darlene and the entire family. May you find comfort in the love that surrounds you and in the countless memories of a remarkable man who was loved beyond measure and will never be forgotten.

Dad I still can't believe that you're gone. I wake up and have a stupid question that I want to ask you but then I realize I can't anymore . I miss you big guy 😞
