Obituary of Jimmy Earl Gore

He was born Jan. 10, 1944, and grew up in Fred. Jimmy graduated from Warren High School in 1962, where he was a stand-out athlete in football.

He worked for DuPont in Beaumont for more than 35 years, retiring in 2005. Jimmy enjoyed hunting and hosting cook-outs for family and friends.
