JAMESVILLE — Heaven received and celebrated Christmas early with a special gift, Jimmy Hale, a faithful servant who represented Christ in every way and set an example for all who knew him and came in contact with him. Through years of service to the Lord, not only in prison ministry, missionary trips and giving to the needy, every moment of his life was dedicated to reaching the lost for Jesus Christ, and putting a smile on peoples faces. He was a Godly father, a faithful husband, loving grandfather, devoted teacher, and deacon in his church.
Through almost fifteen months of continuous suffering, he never complained or questioned his circumstances and his faith never wavered. May we all learn from his example and develop a relationship with Jesus like he continues to experience today. The family greatly appreciates the past and ongoing prayers and support shown through loving prayers, giving of time, visits, support, and calls. A special thank you to the staff at Brian Center of Windsor for their compassionate care.
