Jimmy I. Brittain, Jr., age 47, went to be with his heavenly father on Thursday, December 2, 2021.
He was born in Jackson, TN on September 5, 1974, the son of Jimmy I. Brittain, Sr. and Lillian Barker Brittain. After working in the family business for several years, Jimmy ventured out on his own establishing Jimmy Brittain, Jr. Excavation and Services. Although Jimmy spent most of his time at work, he was young at heart, enjoying riding his side-by-side Razor, dirt car racing, and vacations to the beach. He had rather watch NASCAR than just about anything. His family, especially his daughters and step-sons, were his everything and there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for them.
