James "Jim" Kimmel

January 18, 1934 — March 25, 2022

James "Jim" Kimmel, 88, of Owensboro, passed away March 25, 2022, while under the care of Hospice of Western Kentucky. He was born January 18, 1934, to the late Ted and Katherine Kimmel. Jim was known to most as "the Cokeman," because he worked for Coca-Cola for 25 years then became a self-employed truck driver. Later he enjoyed delivering for Flowers By Paul, which gave him great joy being able to greet people with a smile and a wink. Jim's favorite past time was dancing and dressing snazzy.
He was preceded in death by his beautiful wife of 68 years, JoAnn Kimmel on February 6, 2022, and his oldest son, Jeffrey Kimmel on January 10, 2022.

Jim is survived by daughters; Cheryl Kimmel, Sandra (Darrell) Jones, and Karen (Tony) Jones; his daughter-in-law, Sharon Kimmel; his sons, Jimmy (Stacy) Kimmel and Greg Kimmel; his grandchildren, Craig (Jensen) Kimmel, Kalyn Jones, Landan Jones, Hunter Jones, Chance Jones, Chase (Kristen) Kimmel, Alex (Shelby) Kimmel, Lindsey Kimmel, McKenzie Kimmel, and Chad (Mandy) Moss; along with several great-grandchildren; and his siblings; Faye (Fred) Whalen and Linda (Bob) Gardner.
