Jimmy was born March 5, 1942, in Calhoun County to Brooks and Annie Reynolds. He was raised in Tallahatchie County. Jimmy was a United States Air Force Veteran. He worked for many years as a dragline operator until his retirement. Jimmy’s, most known as “Catfish” or “Jimmy Catfish”, morals ran deep. He was a Christian man who loved the great outdoors. He valued his family and he instilled his passion of hunting, fishing, and the lessons of life learned over the many years and passed times shared with loved ones. His life was energetic and he would always make the room smile. The things he has taught and the ones who knew him will always be grateful.
