Prayers and hugs to the family of Jimmy. I knew Jimmy when he started to attend school in Colstrip, he played Football with my youngest son and graduated with him. I also worked with Jimmy at Town Pump. He was always smiling and so caring would do anything for anyone even if it meant give them his last dollar. Jimmy fly free, we know you are now a Guardian Angel watching and protecting us.

I’m very sorry and sad to see this. Met Jimmy playing softball and he was impossible not to like. Jimmy was nothing but calm, friendly and constantly in a good mood. Over the years we’d run into each other occasionally and he was always the same great guy. The world has truly lost a good man and I’m truly sorry for all his family and friends. Jimmy will definitely be missed.
