James Duhon Obituary

Jimmy passed away Wednesday night in Elko, Nevada. He was a tile setter by trade. He loved sports, football, pools, his Harley Davidson and being around family and friends. Words cannot describe how much Jimmy will be missed. He was loved by so many. His sense of humor and smile brought so much joy to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was a man of true honor and unconditional loyalty. He will be missed. Jimmy is survived by his two brothers, Tommy and Gary Duhon; sister, Cindy Kingrey; and brother in-law, Lawrence Kingrey; nieces, Dani, Brooke, Erika, and Sarah; and extended family who loved him as a blood and bone brother. Jimmy was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Lola Duhon. Arrangements will be made for memorial services as soon as we get our brother home.

My Dear Tommy,Cindy,Gary and Lola.....I am in such shock to learn of Jimmy's death in June. Out of touch with so many and did not get the news till tonite. Jimmy....was a great friend to me and always listened, even after we had ended so many years ago. I spoke to him in Decemeber of 09 and he sounded well. So so sad to learn of this. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Thank-you Jimmy...RIP
Love,
Julie

Jimmy you will always hold a special place in my heart. And in all of those lives you have touched.

I'm so sorry for your loss Tommy, Cindy and Gary. Rebecca Jones

Jimmy was my friend, my hero! He never hesitated to lend a hand, a shoulder to cry on, if you were sad he'd tell a joke to make you laugh. The following poem was written for my fiance who died unexpectedly last year, I believe it speaks for Jimmy too:
"Don't weep for me, for I am free
I am rolling down the highway God
laid for me, with the wind in my hair, the adrenaline rushes in, when I heard him call I was leaving it all.
So I jumped on that beautiful machine.
It was the bike of my dreams.
I am sorry I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work, to play. The tasks left undone must stay that way, but rest assure I am at peace now everyday. If my parting has left a void, Please fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a sweet kiss. Ah these things I also will miss. Don't burden yourselves with sorrow. I wish for you all the sunshine's of tomorrow. I assure you, my life's been full. I savored much, Great friends, kick a__ times and Possibly a loved one touched. And perhaps my time seemed too brief. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift your hearts and share with me. My time has come leaving you all with memories. So, in honor of me smile for I am set free!"
I will miss you my friend, Maria Smith

Hey Jimmy tell my Daddy hi I,m sure Cindy Stemas will be there with open arms.I know GOD has powerful soldiers protecting all of us,I wish he would have waited a little longer to need you.You will always be in our hearts, Nudge me once in a while it could be interesting.GOD blessed me with your friendship I'll never forget you my friend...Rose & Billi Jo

Life is but a short trip, not always the journey we choose but get stuck with but death is eternity that will last forever, lasting pleasures of what life could have been. May peace be with you! BM

Well Jimmy I am sure you are much happier now, which is very comforting thought for me. I wish there could have been a way to say goodbye to you. I have lost a very good friend and was fortunate to have met a very kind person that you were. I still am in a kind of shock mode, or maybe its a denial thing. And I keep thinking you are just out of town and you will be rolling in any day now. But your probably going to play Bush League up there with your mom and my mom and dad!
My thoughts and prayers are also with your family and friends, who also have lost a special person in their life.

Everything in life is temporary, because everything changes. That's why it takes great courage to love, knowing it might end anytime but having the faith it will last forever.

to re-live all those beautiful memories. rest in peace brother

My deepest thoughts and prayers to
Tommy,Gary,and Cindy
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.I do not sleep.
Iam a thousand winds that blow.
Iam the diamond's glint on snow.
Iam the sunlight on ripend grain.
Iam the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
Iam the swift uplifting rush
of quite birds in circled flight.
Iam the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry
Iam not there I did not die.
