Fields of Honor, Hearts of Faith: Jimmie Eugene 'Fuzz' Ellis (1942-2008)


Where sweet potatoes stretch and grow,  
In Vardaman, where soft winds blow,  
Lived Jimmie Eugene, known as Fuzz,  
A man of honor, and deep-rooted trust.

Born in July, '42's embrace,  
In Calhoun's fields, he found his place.  
But when his country called for men,  
He answered proudly, time and again.

In '62, the Corps he joined,  
With rifle firm, his skills enjoined,  
Good Conduct Medals, he earned with pride,  
A Marine through and through, deep inside.

Four years he served, with strength and grace,  
Defending freedom in every place.  
In '66, he laid arms down,  
Honored and strong, he returned to town.

His service didn’t end with war,  
He built a life, with so much more.  
For twenty-one years, he worked with care,  
At Farm Bureau, always there.

He guided folks through thick and thin,  
With wisdom deep and a steady grin.  
On Bancorp South's board, he gave his say,  
Leading with honor every day.

But his love wasn’t just for work,  
In family life, he did not waver.  
Two daughters, Genia Ruth and Hollie dear,  
In their lives, he was always near.

Five grandchildren brought him joy,  
Tyler, Gene, Jade, Kaidey, Zach—each a story,  
A special friend, Lori, by his side,  
In her heart, his love abides.

At New Liberty Church, he found his peace,  
Where faith and love would never cease.  
A fisherman with patient hands,  
Casting lines in life’s wide lands.

Though he’s passed, his memory stays,  
In Vardaman’s fields, through all our days.  
For Jimmie Eugene, with his gentle might,  
Still guides us all through the longest night.
