On Tuesday August 22, 2023; James Kenneth Hedrick (Jimmy) loving father of two, passed away at age 69 due to his battle with cancer.

Jimmy lived life to the fullest regardless of what life threw at him, some good, some bad. Through it all he never lost his ability to laugh at himself, love without fear, or lose his boyish zest for life. For a man of such small stature, he had a big heart, larger smile, and undeniable laugh.

He was preceded in death by his mother and father Lorene and James Hedrick and his grandson Channing Hedrick. 

In addition to his partner Fran Hanks and children Kenny Hedrick and ToniAn Johnson he is survived by sister Donna Sevier Guillory, grandchildren Alexa Johnson, Sierra Johnson, Lena Hedrick, and Cooper Hedrick, and great grandson James Richard.

With respect to his wishes there will be no funeral services or visitation. In lieu of any flowers,plants, or memorial donations to the family please consider making a donation to the Louisiana Chapter of the AFSP in his memory (link below), or heading to your favorite watering hole to enjoy a cold one and memory of him with one another.
