James "Jimmy" Earnest Seymour

Heavens gardens will be greener with the welcoming of James “Jimmy” Earnest Seymour, Jr., 83, of Biloxi, who died on March 9, 2016. Jimmy loved fishing, hunting, gardening and most of all, his family. With his love for gardening and passion for hunting and fishing, Jimmy was known to have the best garden on the block. Anyone who visited him left with fresh vegetables from his garden, seafood from the bay or his favorite, deer sausage. Everyone who met him loved him. Jimmy always had a story to tell and it was usually about family, gardening, fishing or hunting. He will be missed by all. A green thumb with a strong pair of sea legs and an endless supply of stories to tell, Jimmy “Red Ink” is preceded in death by his mother and father, James E. Seymour, Sr. and Zenobia V. Seymour; his sister, Elizabeth Sidaway; and his grandson, Joseph Moran, IV. Jimmy left behind his beloved wife, Betty Jean Seymour; his three daughters, Nina Seymour, Janelle (Joey) Moran and Jackie (Ron) Benne; his adopted daughter, Franziska “Bee” Miller; his grandsons, Jimmy (Jenna) and Chad (Christy) Radich; and his great-grandchildren, Piper, Alexia, Greenlee, Silas, Aliyah and Andrew Radich. Funeral Services will be held at the Howard Avenue Chapel of Bradford-O’Keefe Funeral Home on Monday, March 14, 2016 at 12:30 pm. Friends may visit from 11:30 am until service time. Interment will follow at Biloxi National Cemetery. The family will have refreshments following the burial at Jackie and Ron's home, 15013 Parker Rd., Biloxi, MS 39532.
