Cox (Karli) and sons, of Prospect, Kentucky; as well as a host of family and friends who were inspired by his unwavering courage and faith.

Jimmy's early years were spent in Lebanon where he was confirmed at St. Augustine Catholic Church and, lived in Campbellsville before he relocated to Lexington after a life-altering automobile accident. He went on to graduate from UK with a business degree and was a knowledgeable thoroughbred horse-racing enthusiast, who never lost his immense appreciation for wildlife conservation and the outdoors.

Always with a smile and kind words for everyone, Jimmy was one of the longest living quadriplegics in the US.
