James Elijah Redmond, Jr.

Obituary

James Elijah Redmond, Jr., affectionately known as "Jimmy", was born on March 19,1951, as the eldest of seven children to James Elijah Redmond, Sr.  and Thelma Alice Booth-Redmond.

At an early age, Jimmy was baptized at Union Baptist Church in Chesterfield.  After graduating from Eureka Hich School, he proudly served in the Marine Corp until receiving a medical discharge.  He retired from Maryville University after many years in a custodial role.

He has a passion for the outdoors, enjoying activities like hunting and fishing.  Jimmy loved watching western movies and pro wrestling and he had a fondness for blues and rock music.  He was an avid football fan and once tried out for the St. Louis Football Cardinals.  A natural jokester with a hearty laugh, he enjoyed reminiscing and sharing stories from his past.

On October 3, 2024, James passed away peacefully in his sleep.  He leaves behind cherished memories for his siblings: Layne, Barbara, Donald (Rhonda)and Jerry (Diana); his sister-i-law Natalie; his aunt Connie; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.  He was preceded in death by his parents, James, Sr., and Thelma Redmond; his siblings Kenneth and Sandra; his nephew Casey and niece Shelby.
