Father, grandfather, brother, kindest man that was ever known. He was a man who would do anything for his family and friends. He married the love of his life and has missed her every day since she went to heaven.

He spent many hours quietly fishing for the daily catch or sitting in a blind with his closest friends at “Poor Boy Hunting Club”. He also enjoyed all sorts of music, but his favorite was the sounds of Johnny Cash.

Jimmie is survived by his three children, Dana Guillory Comeaux, Jimmie Ray “TJ” Guillory Jr. and wife Angie, Ryan Joseph Guillory and wife Joy; sisters Carol Guillory Hebert, Kathy Guillory Faul, Janice Guillory; 11 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his wife Linda B. Guillory; daughter Chasity Hope Guillory; his parents Meus and Mary Lou Carrier Guillory; grandchild Destinié Champagne and Lil’ David Champagne.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the family.
