Jimmie was married to Linda Miller on July 3, 1980, in Arlington, Texas. Jimmie served

his own business, Lanis Machines, until he retired in 2012. He was a faithful member of
St. Barnabas Methodist Church. For 20+ years Jimmie was active with the Boy Scouts
of America. Serving as Scout Master, he led countless teenaged boys on adventures
throughout Texas. Jimmie loved his backyard garden, where he grew a variety of
flowers and vegetables. He never met a pepper he didn’t like, and was proudly growing
a new breed, the Trinidad Scorpion Pepper. The family looked forward to the Salsa that
he was sure to prepare from his harvest. Jimmy loved taking walks in the park,
especially if he was rehoming an errant squirrel who happened to be interloping in his
previously mentioned garden.

Lankford and his beloved dog Misty. He is survived by his wife of 43 years Linda,
