Mr. Jimmy “Jim” Rich, age 75, a resident of Columbia, Tennessee, passed away on Saturday, September 21, 2024, at his residence.

Born on November 15, 1948, in Fentress County, Tennessee, Jim was the son of the late Henry Rich and the late Delavine Creselous Rich. A passionate outdoorsman, he spent a lot of his time fishing, hunting, and collecting arrowheads. Jim also had a love for Westerns. He was known for his kind, servant-hearted nature, never meeting a stranger and cherishing his family deeply. He will be missed by those who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his son, Josh Ayers (Charlie King), brother, Gene (Nellie) Rich, sister, Charlene Rudler, Genevee (Royce) Delk, grandson, Robert Ayers, and a host of nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers will be Joe York, Wayne Harvey, Chad Massengale, Nellie Rich, Pat Rich, and Darin Gibson. Honorary pallbearers will include the members of House of Prayer Baptist Church.

The family wishes to extend a special thank you to the Maury Regional Cancer Center, Hospice Compassus, Karen Brown, Robin Boyle, and Sharon Gibson RN, BSN MSN for their love and support during this difficult time.
