Jimmy Harold Cannon

09/03/1946 - 10/08/2025

Jimmy Harold Cannon passed away at the Bethany House on October 8, 2025. He was 79 years old.

Jimmy was a member of Providence Baptist Church. He was a long distance truck driver for most of his years. This gave him opportunity to meet many people. He was often recognized by West Point Pepperell for helping others while on the road. Jimmy always made sure his family's needs were met and strived to provide the extras. If on the road driving for a birthday, he always mailed a card from wherever he was. If on the road during his and Martha's anniversary, he always mailed a card to her with a little money inside. One thing is for certain, he loved Martha. After he retired, he always wanted to be near her.

When not on the road, Jimmy enjoyed fishing the lake with family and friends and loving his grandchildren.

Jimmy spent the last few years with health struggles. Therefore, he and Martha spent many days watching Charles Stanley preach and listening to his favorite gospel songs. He wanted so bad to get better so he could attend Providence Baptist Church where he was baptized years earlier. His family rests in the peace of knowing he is living a healed life with Jesus.

He was preceded in death by his son, James Keith Cannon. Jimmy is survived by his wife, Martha Jones Cannon; daughter, Jennifer Cannon Krug ( Brian); son, Matthew H Cannon (Haden); daughter-in-law, Destinie Cannon; sister, Deanna Janney; eight grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.
