What a significant loss!! Jimmy was a "cheerleader in uniform" for the whole fotball team and to his friends as well. He was the best left handed quarterback in SC! I look forward to seeing him again "across the river."Ernie Nivens

Always a fine gentleman. I am sure I will meet him again in glory one day. Well done... a good and faithful servant.Bill Wise
I must agree with Ernie Nivens about Jimmy being "the best left handed quarterback in SC". The best high school game I ever watched, they put Jimmy in against Lancaster. I think we were behind more than one touchdown, and if I remember right he passed the Bearcats down the field for a last ditch touchdown that was the last play of the game, with both teams piled up at the goal line. We won!Jimmy was always a humble servant.

Jimmy we miss you... you were real leader and inspiration to all of your classmates and a bright guiding light on the football field. An amazing person to know in our youth and a lost friend to good Old Rock Hill High.Jerry (Jeri) Estes (Alexander)
Jimmy had left Rock Hill right after graduation. Many had spoken of him recently at the last 3 or 4 reunion meetings. No one knew exactly what ever happened to him but many wondered.Now, we know. Too bad he did not get to come back to one of the great reunions that we have had. He would have had a wonderful time seeing us for the first time since he left Rock Hill in 1965 as we would seeing him.
So goodbye Jimmy. We will cherish our time with you as children and young adults. You made a difference in many of our lives and at good old Rock Hill High!

I remember Jimmy as a funny easy going guy who always had time for anyone.I was down on the field at the corner of the end zone when Coach Oates put Jimmy in the game we were down by 5 if I remember correctly JImmy took the snap and scrambled to his left and heaved the pass to Tommy Melton in the end zone Tommy was defended I would find out later by a guy named Rick Gaskin of Lancaster Well Tommy caught the ball and the rest is history. Rick and I became great friends in Conway where we met several years later. I did have great fun with Rick by bringing up that great play in Bearcat History. GOD bless and keep you JimmyRoy "Tuffy" Davenport
I was deeply saddened to hear of Jimmy's passing. He and I were best friends back during our High School days. He and I sang together in a folk group called the PKs'. He and I along with my two sisters, Beth Davenport (Merrifield), Carole Davenport (Forrester), and Peggy Hardin, Margaret Parrish and Belinda Kaney sang at church functions around the area. We thought we were the next "New Christy Minstrels". Our name (PKs') came from the fact that we were all preachers' kids.
Jim was a gentle giant who will be missed by friends and family alike. The world's a better place for Jimmy having passed through. We'll miss you Jimmy!
