Jimmy Compton Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jim was born on November 29, 1936, in Lackey, KY. Son of Jasper and Versie (Thornsberry) Compton. He graduated in 1956 from Beaver High School, Beaver, OH. Jim served in the U.S. Army, stationed in Germany. He retired in 2000 from Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, Piketon, OH. Jim also owned and operated Compton's Greenhouse in Jackson, OH for 38 years, which he dearly enjoyed.
Jim was a true husband, a devoted father, a loving grandfather, a loyal friend, a brother in Christ. He was more than a good man – he was a Champion of the Faith, a shining example of what it means to be a Christian. He lived his faith boldly and consistently, unwavering in his stand for the Apostolic Truth, which he stood for 52 years. A man whose life was marked by prayer, integrity, and the Fruit of the Spirit. His legacy will live on – not only in his family, but in the lives of all of us who were blessed to walk beside him.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents, two sisters, Glenna Gregory, Ernestine Overly, and brother, Roger Compton. He is survived by his wife, Connie Compton and two daughters, Gina (Rev. Greg) Adkins and Tina (Phillip) Adkins. He is also survived by three grandchildren, Joshua (Ashley) Adkins, Joel (Kimberly) Adkins, and Jessica (Felix) Aguilar. Also, surviving are 11 great-grandchildren, all of Oak Harbor, WA. Two special loved ones whom he considered as grandchildren, Kimberly (Johnny) Crabb and David Bear, Columbus, OH. Also, surviving his sister Bonnie (Kenny), Rider, brother Rodney (Darlene) Compton, sister-in-law Sharon Compton and brother-in-law, Roger Overly, and a host of nieces and nephews too numerous to name.
Celebration of Life will be held at Calvary Apostolic Church, Oak Harbor, WA on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. Visitation starting at 11am. Service beginning at 12:00pm with Pastor Greg Adkins officiating. The burial will take place at Maple Leaf Cemetery, Oak Harbor, WA.

We have known Bro Compton for years and had not seen him for a long time since he moved to Washington. We spent so much time with them in church and at the Fall Festivals in times past. He truly was a wonderful person.
