Jimmie was a graduate of McClain High School in Tulsa. An outdoorsman from an early age, Jimmie loved hunting and fishing throughout his lifetime. He really enjoyed spending time with his children while doing so. Jimmie served honorably in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam Conflict. It was there Jimmie served as a truck driver in the Army convoys.
An experienced heavy equipment operator, Jimmie pursued a career locally with Watkins Sand. It was a real treasure for Jimmie to hunt for buffalo and arrowheads in the Arkansas River. Additionally, he worked for Miser Asphalt, County District 2 as a water manager, for Tom Purcell installing septic systems, and served as manager of the Arrowhead Ranch.
