Jimmy S. Poole, 75, passed away on June 13, 2026.
Jimmy never met a problem he couldn’t fix, or a project he couldn’t improve. His skill set was legendary. He could sew a Gumby costume, pour concrete, rebuild an engine, wire a building, repair a golf cart, and explain exactly why your plan wasn’t going to work. He also had the sensitivity and gentle enough touch to remove broken glass from the hair and head of a crash victim, that no one else would attempt.
His family is still trying to determine if there was anything he couldn’t do, though following instructions was occasionally suspected.
Jimmy spent the last 24 years in Hallandale Beach, Florida with his loving wife, Carol. They enjoyed traveling and cruising and were fiercely devoted to each other.
He leaves behind a family who loved him, and many friends who will miss him, including his Facebook friends, some of whom he has known since high school.
While we mourn his passing, we’re comforted knowing that wherever Jimmy is now, he’s probably already informed the management that the gate hinges aren’t level, the toilet paper roll was installed upside down and somebody ought to do something about the empty bottle of Crown.
And if he’s looking down on us today, he’d likely say: “It’s time to say goodbye, please don’t grieve for me. I had a good life and life is for the living. Hope to see you again one day for a grand reunion.” •
Jimmy is survived by his loving wife, Carol Kagno; his daughter, Irish Bostwick (Jeremy); grandchildren: Liam, Quinlan, Duncan, Brigid, and Patrick Bostwick.
He was preceded in death by his beloved first wife, Susie Poole; and son, Jimmy Jo Poole.
A Memorial Mass will be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Carrollton, GA., details to be announced at a later date, as will be a celebration of life in Hallandale and Boston in the near future.

Jimmy was the nicest man I knew; always had something nice to say. I never heard a negative word from him. When I last visited, he was getting sick, but you never knew because he was just ” Jimmy ” with a smile and a great attitude.
I will truly miss him and consider myself so blessed to have known him, my brother- in- law over the last 20 plus years.
Peace be with you Jimmy; I hope you know how loved you are by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing you.

Dearest Carol, I have the fondest memories of your Jimmy! What a wonderful man; a loving husband and a proud father. Jimmy possessed an extraordinary optimism and a joy for life. His giggle was unique. I truly enjoyed both of you as we shared a meal together. Please know that I am thinking of you. I hope that your memories of better times will help you through the coming days. Love, Linda

Carol our deepest condolences to you and the family. Our hearts are broken 💔for you. We have only great fond memories of our Jimmy. I remember when we first moved it and you both showed up at our door with breakfast,and I started crying because I said “who does this?” And Jimmy answered we do. He was always there for us especially when my a/c overflowed and he came right away and handle it for me as well as the many times my closet door came off the track. He helped us way too many times for me to list them all. He too was our angel. He definitely earned his wings 🪽here on earth as he too has earned them 🪽in heaven. We will miss you and you great smile and attitude towards life. Fly high my friend , fly high. 🙏🙏🙏 R.I.P.
