Aye, he had been anchored in hospice care since February 2023, as his health be takin' a turn for the worse.His young sea dog, Jason Carter, declared in a speech that ol’ Jimmy was “do’n OK,” even as the waves of time crashed upon him. They had just buried his beloved lass, Rosalynn, who slipped away at 96, just days prior. The family received a treasure trove of love from the crew of fans after her passing.
Despite the storms of health troubles, including a fierce battle with cancer, Jimmy’s spirit held fast. He went through surgeries as if they were mere skirmishes on the high seas, and he be sharing his last journey with grace, spurred by his faith. The good doctor spoke of hospice not as a place to perish, but a haven to rest easy, tendin' to the weary and the broken-hearted.
