So many good memories of a true gentleman. There are very few men in this world that you never hear a bad word about and you hear every body say that he was the best man they have ever met. Jimmy Horton was that. I was bless to have grown up around him. I have so many memories. From being 5 and him giving me a pearl ring that I found that no one ever claimed that I still have today to his singing in church. My memories are so many. He was a true blessing and know he is in his glory now!!

What a wonderful man I had the pleasure growing up around. I remember sitting with momma to see who was going to lead singing n I would lean over and say momma momma it's mr Horton n she would pat me on the knee and just smile. Lots of sweet memories.

Charlotte and Joe Jim,
My prayers are with you. Your daddy was a very special man and had a very special place in my heart. I am sorry for your loss, but so happy for his gain. He probably had more influence on me than any man other than my own daddy. I treasure my memories of him and am truly blessed for having known him. God bless you and comfort you.

Dear Charlotte & Joe Jim, just saw about your dad. I am sure that he and daddy are really having fun right now. They always had so much fun together. I remember so many times they were together. Jimmy had such a beautiful singing voice and I always loved when he would lead singing at church. I know you will miss him as much as I have missed daddy. Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with you both and the rest of the family. Love you all. Merry Lynn & Mike
