Mr. Jimmy Allen Presley, age 64 of Spencer, went home to be with the Lord at 1:12pm Monday, August 2, 2021 at St. Thomas Rutherford Hospital.

Jimmy was born July 30, 1957 in Spencer, Tennessee to Daisy Yates Presley and the late J.D. Presley. After retiring from a long career at TDOT, Jimmy worked at Robinson's Store in Spencer. Everyone that knew Jimmy knew he loved to laugh and have a good time, especially when it came to telling fishing and hunting stories. He loved to hunt and fish, but he also enjoyed gardening. He took great pride in his garden and the ability to serve others with it. He thoroughly enjoyed all the work that went in to it. However, he took greater enjoyment out of watching people eat his hot peppers. In 1977 he married Helen Shoupe and helped raise her two children, Kyle and Angie, as his own. They welcomed their own child together in 1979, Tara Kay Presley. He and Helen added to their family by adopting three more children, Zain, Zowie and Allen.

In addition to his father, he is also preceded in death by sister Sandra Kay Presley; granddaughter Tarenda Jewell Presley; nephew Joshua Mooneyham and adopted daughter Zowie Shoupe.
