November 2, 1944 - September 30, 2021
On September 30th, 2021 Jimmy Carol Barnard Sr. aka ''Papaw Jim'' went home to be with his Heavenly Father. Jimmy Carol was born on November 2, 1944 in Haynesville Louisiana. He is proceeded in death by his parents Geraldine Posey and Ray Barnard and his Grandparents. He is survived by his Son Jimmy Carol Barnard Jr. of Cabot, AR and daughter Kimberly Barnard Smith and son Michael Brent Barnard. Grandson Blain Smith of Sardis, AR, and granddaughter Ashlie Barnard of Denver Colorado, Bonnie Brighton Barnard of London, England and Hannah Barnard of Booneville, AR and great grandson Cecilio Martinez in addition to numerous extended family.
Jimmy Carol was a free spirit loved by many who never met a stranger and was always looking forward to the next adventure. An avid outdoorsman Jimmy Carol loved sharing the outdoors with his children. Known to those closest to him by ''JimmyCarol'' he will always be remembered but never forgotten.
I'm so very sorry. Ashlie called me and told me her Papaw Jim had passed, she was so upset that he didn't get to meet Cecilio. I assured her he will always know him and he will watch him grow.
Cecilio definitely has Barnard in him. I will always cherish the fun times we spent with him, I'm very thankful he was such a loving Papaw to Ashlie.
Brent, Jim, Kim and families, you have been and will be in my prayers since I read about your dad’s accident. I will continue to pray for the peace and comfort of God to be with you as you grieve the loss of your dad. Loosing a parent, especially so unexpectedly is so hard. Love and hugs to you all!
With deepest sympathy,
BJ and Steve Willard
