Jimmy is survived by his loving partner of many years, Loretta Dorsey, of Arnold, Missouri; beloved daughters, Madison Paige Hunt and Marissa Nicole Hunt, and their mother Amy Johnson, of Imperial, Missouri, sisters Celeste (Catherine) Hunt, of Beaufort, South Carolina, Dana Withers, of Mt.

Hunt; and special great-uncle and great-aunt, Thomas and Ilah Winn. Jimmy loved to have fun and was a huge sports fan, following the St. Louis Cardinals, Blues, and New York Giants. He loved working with his hands and was currently building and installing pools, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment. Jimmy had a wicked sense of humor and very quick wit. He never let you forget anything stupid you had ever done in your entire life and liked to remind you of your foibles when you least expected it. Jimmy had a huge heart and loved deeply and loyally. He was a good friend to many and will be dearly missed by all who knew him. A Visitation will be held Saturday, June 5, 2021 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Hughey Funeral Home in Mount Vernon, Illinois.
