Jimmy Day Obituary

Mr. Jimmy Lee Day, age 74, of Alamo, GA, passed away at his home on June 27, 2025, after an extended illness. Jimmy was born in McRae, GA, to the late James Alton Day and Velma Annette Seabolt Day on March 7, 1951. He was a graduate of Wheeler County High School. He was employed by Georgia State Corrections and later worked as a long-distance trucker for many years. He enjoyed fishing, cooking, socializing with his friends, telling tall tales that were guaranteed to bring a laugh, and especially driving his big truck. Jimmy loved his family, especially spending time with his grandchildren, and will be greatly missed by those who loved him. He will always be remembered for his outgoing personality, uncommon wit, and ability to make a moment memorable.
