Jimmy Allen Garland

Jimmy Allen Garland, 55, of Newport, passed away on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, in Newport, Arkansas.  He was born on July 6, 1969 to the late Jerry Garland and Carolyn (White) Garland, who welcomed their youngest son with open arms.

He was also preceded in death by his brother, Edward Garland; his paternal grandparents John and Alma Garland; and his maternal grandparents Rufus White and Sarah Cathleen White.

Jimmy, aka Jimmy G or Blackheart to his friends, is survived by his loving wife, Michelle Garland; step-son, Sawyer Taylor; sisters Lisa Garland Stauber (Larry) and Jeri Garland (Cherie); and his four-legged friend, dog Kita.

Affectionately known as Uncle Bo, Jimmy is also survived by seven nieces and nephews and 13 great nieces and nephews.

Jimmy worked with the family tree service business and had many hobbies. His favorite hobby by far was detailing cars.  He took pride in transforming a tired dirty vehicle and making it look brand new.
