I'm sad to report that Jimmy Wooten passed away on July 15, 2025. His obituary is attached and his memorial service will be held at St. Martin's Episcopal Church on July 29th at 2p.m. He and his wife Melinda were at our 50th reunion and they had spent July 4th at his favorite spot in Port O'Connor. Rest in peace, Jimmy, and saying prayers for Melinda and their family. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/houston-tx/james-wooten-12457049

Rest in peace Jimmy. I still remember sneaking off to lunch from Lee at Antoine's or Hamburger's by Gormet in your jeep with John Broadnax. Always had a lot of laughs. Condolences to the family.

I'm so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing, especially since I missed the 50th reunion. I missed a wonderful chance to see him again after such a long time.
I remember he, John Broadnax and I used to skip PE and go play foosball during the end of senior year. I was such a lousy player that he and John let me win all the games on my birthday. It was a nice little gift that I will use to remember them both now.
Praying for Melinda and the rest of his family and friends.
Rest easy in heaven, James

Not many people can say that they were friends from Kindergarden through collage together. Great memories of all of us growing up together. Jimmy was a one of a kind wonderful person. Everyone remembers who taught them how to ride a bike, Jimmy taught me how to ride a bike in his circle drive on Broad Oaks. His words were just keep peddling! Growing up with a group with Jimmy, Broddnax, Moody and others was very special. Lent at St Martins and playing basketball there were some of the greatest meomories. Jimmy always had my back when I was young. Remembering playing at his house and watching Jimmy do flips on the trampoline how talented he was. So impressive to see someone water ski barefoot, amazing. What a wonderful person who will be truely missed. Jimmy was a very special guy, married to a wonderful Melinda .I was so happy to see and visit with Melinda and Jimmy at the 50th HS reunion. I know he made a special effort to be there. He willl be misssed down here, but I know he has a greeting committee of friends to keep him company up there with our Lord.
