Donate in memory of James Tillman aka Jersey Jimmy
Donation protected
As all of you know by now, our beloved friend James Tillman aka Jersey Jimmy, passed away this past Sunday afternoon.
On Tuesday, January 16th, Jimmy went to the ER in respiratory distress. He tested positive for the flu and was admitted to the ICU. Later that evening he went into cardiac arrest and into a coma after taking 15-20 minutes to bring him back from flatlining 4 times. At that point, he was placed on a ventilator and dialysis.
On Friday January 26th he was taken off of the ventilator and placed on Comfort Care until he passed away peacefully on Sunday January 28th at 2:08 pm.
As you all know, this was totally unexpected and obviously not planned for so after speaking with Lori, Jimmy's exwife and mother of his 15 year old son Joey, I decided to do a GoFundMe on their behalf.
Jimmy was one of the most loving, kind and just realest people I have ever met. He was always so positive and supportive and made everyone feel like a big deal. He was the life of any party or get together and his dance moves... well, they were just legendary. He danced like no one was watching and we loved him for it. He was also a huge Freestyle fan! He supported EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE! He went to countless shows over the years and became so well known by artists and fans alike that his presence will be beyond greatly missed.
I am asking everyone, if they can, to donate something towards both funeral expenses and a trust fund for his son. Jimmy absolutely adored his son Joey and lit up every time he would talk about him. They were 2 peas in a pod and I can't even begin to imagine how hard this is going to be on him.
Thank you so much in advance to everyone and please share this to all of the Freestyle group pages.
In the words of my friend and yours... "Live your best life..."
