So sad to hear. I worked for Mr. Clemons fresh out of high school at Clemsons Video in Kingstree, Greeleyville and Hemingway! He was a very good man!

The gathering last night was a beautiful tribute to Jimmy, as well as his family. LOVE, humour and appreciation was fully evident in the actions and interactions of everyone I encountered. Jimmy Faye, Jimmy's daughters and their families and Jimmie's siblings and their families made it so comfortable for me and many to grieve and celebrate the precious cousin and friend we warmly referred to as Goat Clemons. I will continue to send love your way in the coming days and months.

Thank you "Goat" for being a special part of our life. You were so good to Ridge when he was a teenager and needed a job during the holidays. Rest in peace.
