Obituary for Reverend Jimmy Junior Huskins
Rev. Jimmy Junior Huskins
July 14, 1945 - January 14, 2021
Jimmy Junior Huskins entered this life on July 14, 1945 in the city of Cartersville, Georgia. He was the son of George Washington Huskins and Ardell (Kitts) Huskins. On December 21, 1968 our dad married the love of his life, Ruth Ann Pyle. They had been married for 52 years and he called mom, his darlin.
Dad spent over three years of his life serving as an Army medic, and was stationed in Germany during the Vietnam war. He was proud of his service to our country.
Dad was a hard worker and he loved to roof and he did this for 45 years. He was also an ordained minister and a long-standing member of the Wesleyan Tabernacle Association. Our dad totally backed mom, in her ministry. He loved to hunt and was very good at it. He always had a smile and he seldom complained. He dearly loved all of his family. He often would fast and pray for needs and saw to it that they invested their time and money into the Lord’s work. Dad made many sacrifices in his lifetime. He taught us kids to work hard. One of his favorite sayings was if you don’t have anything good to say about others, then don’t say it.
On Thursday night January 14, 2021 with all of his children standing by his bedside singing Amazing Grace, our father finished his course and made his peaceful entrance into Heaven.
Dad is survived by his children: Son, Scott (Patricia) Huskins of White, GA; one daughter, Anna Huskins Slone of Xenia, OH; son Jonathan Huskins of Clayton, OH; and son, Daniel (Kathryn) Huskins of Arlington, OH.
