Jimmie Williams, 81, passed away peacefully, Tuesday, March 10, 2026, surrounded by his loved ones.
Born June 22, 1944, he was the son of the late James Williams and Rosa Carmichael Williams. He was a hardworking and dedicated man who spent many years serving his community. He drove a school bus for Montgomery County Schools, where he was known for his kindness and dedication to the many students he transported over the years. He was also the owner of Gateway Farm Supply, serving local farmers and neighbors with pride. For more than 20 years he worked as a farmer, a life that reflected his deep love for the land and the outdoors. A faithful member of Gateway Church of God for over 30 years, he devoted much of his time caring for the church property, always willing to lend a hand wherever it was needed. He found great joy in being outdoors, especially mowing and spending time on the farm. One of his greatest passions was Tennessee Walking Horses, which he dearly loved. Above all else, he cherished his family and the time he spent with them. He will be remembered for his strong work ethic, kind heart and the love he had for his family.
