JIMMIE HARGRAVE OBITUARY
After a long and valiant battle with Parkinson's Disease, Jim peacefully kept his appointment with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on the morning of January 5, 2022. Mary, his beloved wife of 68 years honored their vows "'til death do us part" and never left his side.
Jimmie Ray Hargrave was born on November 4, 1933, in Mount Vernon, Texas. The eldest son of missionary parents, Vessie Dee and Bessie Mae Hargrave, he grew up in various locations, including Mexico City. Upon their return to the United States in 1946, they made their home in San Antonio, Texas. At the age of nineteen, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, where he served four years active duty and four years reserve. Following his honorable discharge from the Air Force, he began a 36-year civil service career at Kelly AFB. As licensed amateur radio operator, W5IFP, he thoroughly enjoyed a lifelong hobby which he often used in service to others. Jim earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Southwest Texas State University.
On her nineteenth birthday, July 24, 1953, he married the love of his life, Mary Eunice Thompson. Over the years he managed to convince her that he was the best birthday present she had ever received. Jim and Mary were blessed with four wonderful children, their spouses, and families:
Alan and Debbie Hargrave - Alison (Dan) Inglese, Jad, Wheaton, and Juniper; Andrew Hargrave
Dalan and Kathy Hargrave - Lindy Hargrave; Matthew (Rachelle) Lefever; Amy Lefever, Philip, Alma,Walter; Cherae Lefever, Eli
Caroline and Randall Booth - Nicole (Jason) Hanley, Kasen Ray, Marie and Megan; Jason (Alyssa) Booth, Landon
Phyllis and David Sekula - Chelsea (Worth) Rawson; Whitney (Brandon) Erlanson, Jaydon and Hazel
Jim was preceded in death by Phyllis and, in addition to surviving family, leaves behind very special friends Lynda Hargrave and Connie Sekula, David's wife.
The family would like to express their sincerest gratitude to the caregivers at Golden Stage Residential Assisted Living for their patience, compassion and dignity extended to their loved one.
The family will receive friends beginning at 1:00 p.m., Tuesday, January 18, 2022, at Porter Loring Mortuary North.
