September 23, 1960 - April 3, 2013
Jimmy Dewayne Richmond, 52, of Jonesboro went to be with Jesus on April 3, 2013 at his home of natural causes.
He was born on September 23, 1960 in Osceola, AR to Reverend Luchin G. Richmond and Glenna Sue Richmond.
He spent the first 12 years of his life in the Osceola area before moving with his family to Hoxie and then in 1974 moving to Jonesboro with his family so that he could attend the John T. Gray School. In the early 1990s, his parents failing health was the result of his placement at the Jonesboro Human Development Center, where he lived until moving into the UCP Bobby Puryear House in 2010.
He was a very special person and made friends everywhere he went. Jimmys main love was Jesus, going to church and listening to his Dad read the Bible. He enjoyed playing the piano, guitar and singing to his many friends and family.
Jimmy was preceded in death by his parents.
