Born on November 19, 1943, in Adair County, Kentucky, Jimmy lived a life marked by his faith in the Lord, love of his family, and deep connection to his friends and neighbors.

A devoted husband, loving father, and cherished grandfather, Jimmy's commitment extended beyond his family to a long and distinguished career. He was a retired Supervisor at Parker-Kalon, where he worked faithfully for 37 years. His work ethic and leadership touched many lives, leaving a lasting impact on those who had the privilege to know him professionally.

Jimmy's passions reflected a rich and vibrant spirit. He enjoyed fishing and hunting, pursuits that brought him peace and pleasure in the outdoors. He also had a passion for restoring antique cars and trucks, a hobby through which he expressed both patience and creativity. Music was another source of joy, particularly singing gospel songs alongside his wife Linda, a testament to their shared devotion and uplifting faith.

Deeply rooted in his beliefs, Jimmy was a founding member of the Point Pleasant Lighthouse Baptist Church, an accomplishment of which he was especially proud. This role demonstrated his commitment to faith and community, guiding and inspiring many throughout his life.

Jimmy is survived by his beloved wife Linda Alexander Turner; daughters Cindy Turner of Columbia, Kentucky, and Jamie Patterson (Kenny) of Knifley, Kentucky; a cherished granddaughter Kayli Patterson; siblings Aretha Corbin (Bobby) and Mickey Turner, both of Columbia, Kentucky; and sister-in-law Sharon Turner of Columbia, Kentucky. Their lives were enriched by his presence, and they carry forward his memory with love and respect.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Edgar Don and Mable Kemp Turner; brother Tom Turner; and half-sisters Margarite Sneed and Avon Cundiff, whom he remembered fondly.

Pallbearers will be Kenny Patterson, Kevin Foster, Jimmy Branham, Keith Biggs, James Edmonds, and Brian Alexander. Honorary pallbearers will be John Edmonds, Joe Edmonds, Chris Delk, Tim Delk and Morgan Stapp.
