WAYCROSS — James “Jimmy” Everette Griffin, 78 of Waycross, passed away Sunday, October 18, 2926, at Memorial Satilla Health after a sudden illness.
Griffin was born in Hoboken to the late Homer Griffin and Dorothy Vivian Wilson Griffin. He is also preceded in death by two brothers, Stanley Griffin and Monroe Griffin.
Griffin was truly one of a kind. With his quick wit, unforgettable sense of humor, and outgoing personality, he never met a stranger. Griffin had a special way of making everyone feel welcome, and those fortunate enough to cross his path, quickly became friends.
He loved to fish, canoe through the Okefenokee Swamp, play music and spending time with family and friends.
Griffin was a proud veteran of the United States Army. He served his country with honor before beginning a long and dedicated career with CSX, where he retired after 37 years of service.
Griffin is survived by his fiancée Rose Smith; his son, Jamie Griffin; his daughters Susan Houser (Floyd), Pam Fox; three grandchildren Kaylei Henry (Mike), Austin Houser (Ashley), Lexi Fox; three great grandchildren; two brothers, Johnny Griffin (the late Charlene) and Joey Griffin (April); his sister, Delores Crews (Timbo); and numerous other nieces, nephews, relatives, and a host of dear friends.

Burial will be a Pilgrims Rest Cemetery immediately following the service.
