Jimmy Dallas Young Jr., born January 30, 1964, passed away in his home on December 20, 2024, at the age of 60. Jimmy lived life embracing his passions for animals, gardening, and spending time along the river searching for arrowheads—a hobby that brought him joy and connection to the natural world.

Jimmy was preceded in death by his father, Jimmy Dallas Young Sr.; his mother, Judy Elaine Pugh Young; and his sister, June Leigh Young. He is survived by his siblings: brother Jason Young and wife Katie of Little Rock, AR; sister Jeanne Young and husband Rickey of Duncan, MS; and his sister Mo Snyder of Lexa, AR. He is also remembered with love by his dear friend, Sippi.

Jimmy was a cherished uncle to his nieces and nephews: Hannah Young of Jasper, AR; Mallory Turner and husband Jason of Lexa, AR; Stephen Young and wife Maddie of Bryant, AR; Jackson Young of Starkville, MS; and Great nieces Kaylynn Ford, Kimberly Young, and Callie Young.

Jimmy was baptized at Barton Baptist Church as a young teenager, laying the foundation for a faith that helped carry him through life. He graduated from Marvell Academy before attending the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. In his later years, Jimmy returned to his roots on Highway 316, dedicating himself to various roles, but his most significant and heartfelt work was caring for his father.

Jimmy will be remembered for his love of nature, and his very different way of showing his love to those closest to him. His family and friends will carry forward his memory with love and affection for the time they were blessed to share with him.

A celebration of Jimmy's life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to your local animal shelter.
