James Randal Massey "Jimmy", age 68 of Marshall, Arkansas died on Wednesday, September 15th, 2021 at Conway Regional in Conway, Arkansas. He was born in Marshall, Arkansas on May 26th, 1953 to James Delmar Massey and Patsy Lee Massey. Jimmy was a beloved son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend. He was preceded in death by his father, J.D. Massey; and grandparents, Alton and Inis Massey, and Dennis and Ida Lee.
Jimmy grew up in Wiley's Cove living and working with his family on the family farm, attending Leslie schools and graduating in 1972. Jimmy grew up attending the New Hopewell Baptist Church and after moving to Marshall in 1980, attending the Marshall Assembly of God Church. He always enjoyed the family gatherings, visiting with his aunts, uncles and cousins, and getting to sample all the desserts served at these events. Jimmy loved cars and for many years he loved reading magazines about the latest models and could tell you all the new features and details about them. Jimmy loved watching TV and would keep you up to date on what was happening on his favorite programs. He also liked reading the Marshall Mountain Wave newspaper; he read every line each week. In the past Jimmy enjoyed working with ceramics and painted many beautiful pieces. He enjoyed listening to music and watching game shows on TV. Jimmy recently became a resident of Highland Court Nursing and Rehab and enjoyed making new friends there.
