Our Story
Jimmy Barnes, our first and only son, was born on December 15th, 1986. He filled our lives, along with everyone else’s, with so much joy. He came into this world with strawberry-blonde hair to match his fiery personality and love for life. His spunk, energy, and hilarious nature were one of a kind. He loved so strongly and was fiercely loyal to his childhood sweetheart and wife, his two younger sisters, and numerous other friends and family.
Jimmy had a huge heart and would do anything for anyone especially those he loved or for those in need. He was the best big brother and the friend you always wanted around. He loved hunting, fishing, motorcycles, tattoos, and anything else that involved fun and outdoors. His smile and laugh could fill the room.
Tragically, on December 22nd, 2017, Jimmy was taken from us due to an accidental overdose involving Xanax laced with fentanyl. Our lives forever changed that day, but we won’t let that be the end of Jimmy’s story. We want to honor Jimmy and all he brought to our lives by helping other people the way he always did.
Addiction is running rampant through our country, but the people that struggle with this are still people and need to know they’re deeply loved. Our desire is to provide joy, hope, and light to anyone who is in need. We know Jimmy’s love could instantly brighten someone’s day and we want to share the light he provided to us to as many people as possible in every way we can.
