Obituary for Jimmy M. Chism
SOUTH GLENS FALLS
Jimmy M. Chism, 62, passed away on Tuesday, February 15, 2022 at the Glens Falls Hospital surrounded by his loving family.
Born January 24, 1960 in Kenosha, Wisconsin, he was the son of the late Birgis and Bessie (Walker) Chism.
Upon graduation from high school, Jimmy enlisted in the United States Navy in 1979 and proudly served his country until his retirement in 1995.
Jimmy was a very patriotic man who worked as a carpenter and a handyman. He could fix anything that was broken and would help anyone in need. He enjoyed watching Sci-Fi movies, documentaries, was an avid reader, and was often accompanied by his beloved dog Crystal who passed away before him. Most of all, Jimmy loved his grandchildren and great nieces and nephews. He looked forward to spending as much time as he could with them at cook outs, birthday parties, and other get-togethers. He will be greatly missed by many.
In addition to his parents, Jimmy is predeceased by his sisters; Betty Shanks and Carol Rodenbaugh, and his brothers; Burgess Chism and Donald Chism.
Left to cherish his memory are his longtime companion Colleen McGowan, his sons; Jimmy Chism II (Geimi), and Scott Chism (Ana), his stepson Joshua Warner (Michelle), his grandchildren; Miguel, Michael, Haley, Kaydon, and Octavia, his brothers; John David Chism (Cindy), Bobby Chism and Lonnie Chism (Sharon) his sisters; Patricia Thompson and JoNell (Werner) Clyden, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.
