Jimmy Michael Scott passed away Friday evening, November 15th, 2024 surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Giles County, Tennessee on July 29th, 1948, and was 76 years old.
Jimmy was a U.S. Army veteran. He loved to hunt and fish. He was more than just an avid gamesman; he was a true steward of the outdoors. His passion for hunting and fishing was evident as he was always eager to share his knowledge and take anyone with him. The family lovingly referred to him as a “river rat”. He enjoyed repairing and restoring antique cars. His home shop was more than just a place to fix cars; it was a place for anyone needing a helping hand. There was not anything that he couldn’t fix. Whether repairing a lawn mower or welding on someone’s trailer, he took pride in helping others. His generosity extended beyond his garage as he often helped friends, family, and neighbors, never asking for anything in return. Jimmy loved to cook. He is known for his amazing fish cookouts and deep-fried turkeys. His generosity knew no bounds as he took great joy in cooking for everyone including friends and neighbors. Jimmy’s hospitality and welcoming nature made everyone feel like family. He will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on in the countless lives he touched and the people he helped.
