Jimmie Lee Holton

Jimmie Lee Holton was born April 8, 1948, in Decatur, MS to the late Vonnie Lee Holton and Clemmie Holton.

Jimmie was an extraordinary individual who conquered most challenges that came his way. He was a highly successful and diligent man.  He was a devoted father, not only to his children but to many others as well. Jimmie was a true superhero to his children and grandchildren. He selflessly dedicated countless hours of his time and expertise to prepare his family for life.  Jimmie’s family and friends was the joy of his heart, but he also enjoyed bowling and visiting the casino.

Jimmie accepted Christ as his Lord and Savoir and was later Baptized.

In 1968, Jimmie was enlisted in the United States Army.  After bravely serving to protect our country during Vietnam War, Jimmie earned the esteemed title of War Hero. In 1970, Jimmie returned home to his family after receiving an Honorable discharge.

Jimmie spent many years working at Kaywood manufacturing up until it closed their doors. After the closing of his job, he decided to relocate to Grand Rapids, where he worked at Key Plastic until he retired.

Our beloved father, grandfather, brother and friend, departed this life January 24, 2025, at home surrounded by the prayers of his daughter.
