Jimmy was born on January 14th, 1940 to Lewis and Mary Lee Faulkner in Mena, Arkansas. Although he lived the last 20 years of his life in Greenwood, he would always consider his home to be Mena, the place where he grew up, met his wife, raised two children, and pursued a 30 year career with U.S. Motors. After retirement, he relocated to Greenwood where he enjoyed tinkering in his shop, diligently following the stock market, and solving the world’s problems over coffee with friends.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Linda Faulkner; two sons: Bob Faulkner of Huntsville, Alabama and Scott Faulkner and wife Valerie of Fort Smith; two grandchildren: Josh Faulkner and partner Alma Pena and Abby Saviers and husband Robert; one great-grandchild, Dahlia Faulkner; as well as his siblings and their spouses: Nancy Abbott, Linda and Jimbo Davis, Jack Faulkner, Carla and Steve Mosley; and brother-in-laws: Gus Abbott and Dick Goodgame.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters: Doris Abbott and Nodene Goodgame; brother-in-law, Tom Abbott; and daughter-in-law, Donna Faulkner.
