Jimmy Furgerson, age 69, of Little Rock AR, previously of Alvin TX, left us on Thursday, June 30, 2025. Jimmy was preceded in death by his father, Billy Raymond Furgerson and his mother, Helen Clanton Furgerson of Warren AR.
Jimmy was born September 13, 1955 in El Dorado AR. His family later relocated to Alvin TX where Jimmy would attend Alvin High School followed by Alvin Community College. Jimmy worked in the chemical industry for 39 years. He held a variety of positions including quality, management, safety and chemical manufacturing. He was a dedicated employee of Monsanto, Solutia and Novus. Jimmy made many lifelong friends during his time in the chemical field. Jimmy and his buddy, Max Powers, pulled off many golfing, hunting, fishing and ski adventures over the years with big stories and tales to match!
In his younger days, Jimmy loved to water ski- the faster, the better, much like his cars and driving skills. As time moved on Jimmy settled for gardening and grilling. He cooked up juicy tender ribs for friends and family, along with freely sharing his peppers and garden produce. Jimmy loved his cats and they in return loved him. His final mission included capturing and sterilizing the feral cats in his neighborhood.
Jimmy, affectionately called Bo by his family, will be deeply missed. He leaves behind a brother, Billy (Cindy) Furgerson and sister, Donna Furgerson, both of Little Rock. A niece, Amber (John) Yates and darling grandniece, Anna Grace of Little Rock, AR. An ex-wife of 21 years, Janet Spears; his Aunt Liz Smith and Uncle Danny Clanton along with many Clanton and Furgerson cousins.
Graveside services are 10:00AM Saturday, July 5th at Marsden Cemetery with Rev. Tim Williams officiating. Burial is in Marsden Cemetery by Frazer’s Funeral Home. Visitation will be after the graveside service.
