Jimmy Taylor Norred, age 83 of Quitman, was called home on Saturday, February 24, 2024.  He enjoyed hunting and fishing; especially squirrel hunting with his favorite dog Black Gal.  Jimmy enjoyed running dogs and squirrel hunting where he made many friends through the years hunting.  He spent his free time outdoors and enjoyed sitting in front of his shop visiting with friends.  Jimmy was a well known mechanic and could fix just about anything he set his mind to.  When he wasn't hanging out around his shop he might be found on the Swamp Road where he enjoyed reading many western books.  He taught all of his granddaughters to drive and loved to take them to the creek.  He loved his family, his girls and his grandchildren were his pride and joy.
