James Edwin “Jimmy” Adams, age 69, of Gainesville, entered heaven Wednesday, February 8, 2023, at the Northeast Georgia Medical Center, Braselton Campus.
Jimmy was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on April 5, 1953. Jimmy was raised in South Hall & retired from SKF Manufacturing. He loved the outdoors, fishing, gardening, and loved to deer hunt. The stories from deer camp will be remembered forever. He upgraded regular dad jokes to his own elite brand of Jimmy jokes such as, if you were to say, “I’m hungry,” he would say, “nice to meet you hungry, I’m Jimmy!” He also was a devout Georgia Fan. He loved his Bulldogs and was so glad they won the two championships. He was preceded in death by his mother, Clara Mae Adams. Jimmy will forever be missed; his heartfelt prayers were the highlight of many dinners.
Left to cherish precious memories, wife, Brenda S. Adams; children, Jamey Adams, J.P. (Jennifer) Adams, Lisa (Drew) Ekman, Kimberly Scroggs & Chris Scroggs; grandchildren, Molly Ekman, Fischer Ekman, Madison Scroggs & Benji Adams; sister, Jean (David) Murphy; several nieces, nephews & other relatives also survive.
Funeral services honoring Jimmy’s well-lived life will be held at 2:00 p.m. Monday, February 13, 2023, at the Ward’s Funeral Home Chapel, with Rev. Derek Howard officiating. The family will receive friends from 12:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m. Monday, February 13, 2023, at the funeral home.
To honor Jimmy’s love for the Bulldogs, please wear red & black colors to visitation & services. Go Dawgs!
