Holly Springs Funeral Home

Jimmy Frank Tharp

Jimmy Frank Tharp, 69, of Holly Springs, Mississippi, passed away on Wednesday, October 27th, 2021, at his home surrounded by loved ones.
 
Jimmy was born November 5th, 1951, to JK and Ethel Cantrell Tharp, in Cleveland, Mississippi. He studied at State Tech Institute of Memphis, after which he stayed in the Memphis area and worked as a heating and air specialist.
 
When Jimmy retired in 2012, more than anything, he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, feverishly cheering on the Dallas Cowboys, and entertaining heated political debates on Facebook.
 
Jimmy will be remembered for his enduring love of his family and friends, his wicked sense of humor, and his compassionate heart. He lent a hand whenever needed.  He was a music enthusiast, a football fanatic, and an amazing storyteller.
 
Jimmy was predeceased by his parents, JK Tharp and Ethel Cox, and stepfather, Jack Cox. He is survived by his four sisters, Shirley King, Jackie Baker, Barbara Noel, Mary Scroggins, his daughter, Andrea Tharp, and his grandchildren, Taylor Laury and Justin Fava.
 
Per his wishes, services will be suspended.  In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to NoKidHungry.Org.

My sincere condolences to the family. Jimmy and I were friends for a short time in south Memphis when we were 13 & 14 years old. My hopes are he’s back riding that Honda super sport 90 we admired so much. He was a hoot to be around and we were all good friends

Happy Heavenly 11/5 Birthday My Friend! After you celebrate up there with the rest of the Night Moves Crew, God may need you and Shamley to do some repair work around there, then rest easy and spend time telling the Angels some of your quirky funny sayings. I'm sure they will all get a laugh.
