James "Chicken" Hinson, 91, of Fannett, died Friday, December 27, 2019. He was born on October 2, 1928, in Evans, Louisiana, to Minnie Holt Hinson and Monroe Hinson. Jimmy was a retired operator from Ameripol-Synpol.
Jimmy enjoyed telling a good story and often left you wondering if it was true or not. He filled the hearts of his family and friends with Jimmy/Chicken Hinson stories that always brought laughter to those listening to the tales. He was an avid deer hunter and enjoyed his time at the deer lease with friends.
Jimmy was happiest with his wife, Davie, at his side - they tended cattle together, grew thriving gardens, and enjoyed their casino trips. Any family or friend in need always found an open door and help from Jimmy. You never left the Hinson home empty-handed as they always shared their bumper crops and wonderful food cooked by Davie. Remembering Jimmy/Chicken Hinson will always bring a smile to your face.
He is survived by his wife, Davie Hinson, of Fannett; daughter, Debbie Ezell and her husband, Mike, of Georgetown; mother-in-law, Yvonne Stroman, of Fannett; and grandchildren, Andrew Ezell, Katie Ezell, Jared Hinson, and Jennifer Hinson.
Jimmy is preceded in death by his sons, Gary Hinson and Buddy Hinson.
