James "Jimmy" Edward Bagby, 74, went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and to be reunited with his loving parents and his late brother Barry Bagby, on December 5, 2020.  Jimmy was born on April 3, 1946 to the late James "Red" Edward Bagby and the late Doris "Dot" Eloise Bagby.  He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Lee; his son Jamie and his wife Scarlet and their 3 children, Rhett, Ethan and Emilee; his daughter Ashlee and her 2 children, Jaxon and Sawyer; loving sister Barbara Bagby Petersen and her husband Bob, and sister-in-law Laurie Bagby, along with many nieces and nephews and great nieces and great nephews who he loved dearly. His family was his life. He was born in Vicksburg where he grew up living right on the grounds of The Vicksburg Airport that his father operated for the city. The golf course surrounded the house that he grew up in, where he learned and developed his love for golf.   He attended Cooper High School where he graduated in 1964.  Shortly after high school he met Lee and they married January 1, 1966. He served his country in the United States Air Force from 1966 – 1970 during the Vietnam Era.   He was owner and operator of Firearms Outfitters, where he has served Vicksburg as an expert and master gunsmith for over 47 years.  Jimmy grew up in Immanuel Baptist Church and, later in life, blessed the congregation of Cornerstone Bible Church serving as a teacher of God's word for many years.  There will be a visitation at Fisher-Riles Funeral Home on Indiana Avenue, on December 8 from 12-2.  Graveside service will follow at Cedar Hill Cemetery.  Pallbearers are Ethan Bagby, Alan Bagby, Carey Bagby, Ashlee Bagby Steele, Dana Sanders, and Cody McCain. Our family really appreciate the excellent medical care that Jimmy received from Merit Health here in Vicksburg.
