Mr. Jimmy "Jim" Earl Risher Jr.

Jimmy (Jim) Earl Risher, Jr, 36, of Greenwood, MS, went to be with the Lord on Monday, February 26, 2018. His homegoing celebration will be at First Baptist Church of Raymond on Saturday, March 3, 2018. Visitation will begin at 9 a.m. with ceremony to be held at 12 p.m. Graveside burial to follow at Raymond Cemetery. With the heaviest of hearts, we share that our son, brother, and friend was taken from us in a plane crash. He was admired and respected by all that knew him. Never without a smile and always quick witted, Jim enjoyed life to the fullest and lived with Christian integrity. We have been blessed and honored to do life with this man. Jim was an extraordinary and highly experienced pilot, commanding many different types of aircraft and has attained almost every pilot rating that the FAA allows. He has taught numerous people to fly, many that now have flying careers. Jim has amassed thousands of hours as an Agricultural Pilot. He was a high-energy and charismatic aerobatic performer, a master of showmanship. Jim had a great love of hunting, fishing and anything outdoors, ever willing to assist, teach and lend a helping hand. He was always eager to put noses to the ground and sniff out the latest track with The Blood Trailing Dogs. Jim is survived by daughter, Shelby Risher of Montrose, CO, father, Jimmy (Wanda) Risher of Terry, mother, Cindy Risher Seal of Raymond, sister, Anna (Christopher) Kimmons of Clinton, grandparents, Wally and Gloria Fields of Crystal Springs. He was preceded in death by grandparents, Sidney, Sr and Ollie Rhea Risher of Terry, and cousin, Brian Risher of Flora.
