"Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants," Psalms 116:15, NIV. After a life well-lived, service well-given, and a strong finish well-documented, our dear beloved Uncle Jimmy is finally home! Only God Himself knows the full extent of the spiritual fruit generated by this humble and faithful servant of the Lord. His faithful service over a long life stands as a testament to his humble determination to serve Jesus well. Uncle Jimmy invested in my life as a young preacher, giving me chances to preach where he served as Pastor. I shall be forever grateful for his steady and constant faithfulness which influenced me profoundly. I shall remember our talks and cherish his counsel. Kathy and I are grateful for the love that Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Patsy showed us. We extend our condolences to our sweet cousins and offer this reminder that Uncle Jimmy lived by . . . "Jesus is everything."

Some people make the world better for what they do, some for who they are, some for what they say, some for what they believe. Then there are those who, by the grace of God, generously give all of these gifts to others always. Though I knew Reverend Dammon, Jim, only for a short period in our lifetimes, he made me feel as if we had long known each other , shared jokes, experiences and his and Patsy’s love of Dan and my ‘baby’ sister, Kristy. I loved that feeling, still do and celebrate that. Though the tempest rages, peace be still. Respectfully and with love,✝️💌 Mary Leftridge Byrd and Embria L. Byrd, Jr.
