Jimmie Lee Hatfield's Obituary
In Loving Memory of
Jimmie Hatfield
December 29, 1946 – February 2, 2026
Jimmie Hatfield was born on December 29, 1946, in Tulsa, to his beloved mother, Bonnie Gentry. Jimmie lived his life with unique challenges, but he also lived it with a heart that was genuine, open, and full of sincerity. He experienced the world in his own way—often with innocence, honesty, and a depth of feeling that reminded those around him of what truly matters.
Jimmie was preceded in death by his mother, Bonnie Gentry, and his brothers, Billy and Donnie. They were a source of love and familiarity throughout his life, and he now rests peacefully reunited with them.
Even with his challenges, he taught others powerful lessons without ever meaning to patience, compassion, and the importance of seeing people for who they are rather than for what they struggle with. He found joy in simple things and offered connection without judgment—something that left a lasting impression on all who knew him.
In the words of Spider-Man, “With great power comes great responsibility.” Jimmie’s life reminded us that strength does not always look like power, and responsibility can mean caring for one another with kindness and understanding. Those who loved Jimmie carried that responsibility proudly.
Jimmie’s legacy lives on in the memories shared, the smiles he brought, and the quiet moments where his presence is still felt. He was deeply loved, faithfully cared for, and will always be remembered.
Rest easy, Jimmie. You were deeply loved, and your gentle spirit will remain with us always.
