Big Jim was an animal lover, especially his dogs. His favorite thing to do was spend time with his friends and family. Big Jim was a private person, but he always went out of his way to be there for his family and friends.

He is survived by his sisters Karyl Dearman (Terry) and Jacque Nelson, his brother Craig Tarbox, and his mother Helen McKee. He was also survived by his uncles, aunts, many close cousins, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Jimmy is preceded in death by his father James and his mother Lula Mae, whom he lost at an early age, his brother Charles Tarbox.
