On Monday morning, Jimmie tragically and unexpectedly lost his beautiful wife, Lauren to a senseless act of violence. Lauren was the warmest and most welcoming human you'd ever be lucky to meet. She opened her home to many of us for holiday gatherings, tv nights, and potluck dinners. Her brightly colored hostess dresses usually matched the theme of the night and she'd always greet you with a hug and a smile. Her home was your home. Jimmie and Lauren worked hard to build a life together. They pursued careers in equally challenging industries, helped raise Jimmie's daughter into a beautiful young woman, and laid down a foundation in a house they made a home.

We all want Jimmie to know how much we care about and support him during this difficult time. We've created this page for just that: time. If there's one support we can provide right now, it's the ability for Jimmie to figure out how he's going to proceed. Any monetary contributions will be used at Jimmie's discretion: funeral costs, family visits, laying low, etc. I don't think anyone has the answer to what is needed in this situation. So whatever that becomes, our hope is that we can help make it possible.

Thank you all for your loving and supportive contributions.
