Jimmy Barrett

Funeral Director/Embalmer Apprentice, Chaplain, and Aftercare Coordinator

Before joining the staff at Hart Funeral Home, Jimmy pastored for over 15 years and also served on the executive staff of a Christian Ministry. During his years of pastoring he assisted with many funeral services, and for the last several years has desired to officially enter into the funeral industry. He is passionate about serving families during their greatest time of sorrow. 

Although Jimmy has lived in Tennessee most of his life, he has ties to Blackshear as his wife's family is from here. He is quickly becoming a part of the community and looks forward for his newly planted roots to run deep in Blackshear, Pierce County, and surrounding areas.

Jimmy has been married to Pamela since 2003. They have two daughters; Annie and Mikayla. 

He enjoys spending time with his family, attending church, fishing (when time allows) and playing a variety of musical instruments.
