James “Jimmy” Dean Stains joined his Mom with the Lord on Tuesday, August 3, 2021, in Universal City, Texas, at the age of 46. He was born at Hahn Air Force Base, Germany on June 3, 1975, to Rick and the late Lillian Maude Stains.

Jimmy never met a stranger and loved to play poker, tell jokes, share memes, and root for his beloved Cleveland Browns. He had a smile and laugh that lit up the room.
