I wanted to write you so I could have something about Jimmy posted on the DOI. My name is Michael Campbell. I knew Jimmy and got to work with him a few times and my favorite match was with him and Bravado. I wanted to share a few thing about Jimmy with the boys.

I met Jimmy several years ago back when UXW was USAPRO and worked out of the Elks lodge. I was just out of training and didn't know many people but Jimmy took it upon himself to come over and make me feel welcome. Jimmy had to be hands down the most relaxed guy in the locker room. Nothing seemed to faze him. Almost everyone in the back was running around talking about making it big. About how they were going to be the next big thing, but Jimmy, he was different, he got it. He understood that making it was living the life he always wanted to live and he was doing it in style. Later on there was a bad situation between my tag partner and our opponents for that night, Bravado and Jimmy. I was able to get them both to agree not to kill my partner after 20 minutes of pleading (it took 30 for Bravado!).

But Jimmy wanted to work with me and make sure my partner stayed on the outside. It was and still is my favorite match. I get a kick out of thinking I'm pretty sure I was Jimmy's only win via tap out. In fact he got a shot of him submitting me and put it on his my space page. When I moved to North Carolina I kept in touch with jimmy over my space he said he was thinking of moving down. His putting me on his my space page was a rib between us that never got old. He said he loved showing it to people. "How cool do I look taping you out!" I still can't believe he is gone. We would take turns buying beers at Amazura. I always thought I would have another chance to buy him another round. Next time I see you Jimmy the drinks are on me. My deepest sympathies go out to his family and loved ones.

Good bye Bro.
Michael Campbell
