JIMMY HAYNES OBITUARY
Jimmy Ray Haynes~ A Life Well Lived
Jimmy Ray Haynes, 82, passed away on Sep 13,
surrounded by his loving family.
Jimmy was born December 12,1939, to Clarence
and Jessamine Haynes in Jacksonville, Arkansas. He had 4 brothers and one
sister. He graduated from Fair Park High School in 1957, in Shreveport, LA.
Jimmy and Charline Bowlin were married on
April 18, 1957, and they spent 65 wonderful years together, traveling the
world, raising a family, and serving the Lord.
Following his high school graduation, Jimmy
supported his family by throwing a paper route, but his childhood dream was to
become a pilot. He started flying lessons at age 17, training in a Piper Cub.
While he was busy building his flying career
(to include crop dusting in a Stearman biplane for Campbell Air Service, and
flying helicopters and float planes off the Gulf Coast for Chevron Oil)
Charline was busy with their children... Jimmy, Teri, and Jeff.
In 1966, Jim took a long shot and applied to
Delta Airlines. While he was flying offshore, Charline got the offer phone
call, and was thrilled to relay the news to Jimmy that he was hired! This began
the adventure of a lifetime of travel for the family. Jim made Captain in 1976
and flew another 20 years, retiring in 1997.
Flying, while exciting and rewarding, was
not the most important thing to Jim. He was a committed Christian who talked
the talk and walked the walk. He and Charline went on many mission trips around
the world, he taught Sunday school, served as a deacon, and was always
available for volunteer work on church events, as well as disaster relief.
Jimmy is survived by his wife Charline,
children Teri and Scott Reynolds and Jeff and Lori Haynes. Grandchildren and
Great Grandchildren and families include: Meagan, Craig, Luke and Leila Wooten;
Wes Reynolds; Lexi, Collin and Lorelai Higgins. Kathryn, Luis and Lori MTZ
Arredondo; Jacob, Heidy, Emma, and Charline Rose Haynes; Bradley Haynes. Jimmy
is preceded in death by his son, Jimmy Ray Haynes, Jr., his parents, and his 5
siblings, along with many cousins, aunts, and uncles.
Visitation will be on Saturday, September
17, 2022 from 12:15PM to 1:00PM at Harrell Funeral Home, 100 Heritage Drive,
Austin, TX. Funeral services will be 1:00PM at the funeral home. Burial will
follow at Phillips Cemetery.
