Jimmy was full of life and made many special connections with so many people in his life. He worked hard from a very early age learning many skills and talents, currently as a Senior Project Manager with Q.C.P. for the last 17 years. He had many close friends from New Iberia to Chauvin that all share many fun memories, including his annual Pantuzo group who all referred to him as “Shnick.” He made many memories traveling with different groups of friends to various beaches, all with their own unique stories. He loved spending time with all his family and enjoyed holiday gatherings bouncing from Chauvin to Dularge to visit with everyone. He had several dogs through the years who were like children to him as he had a special love for each. More than anything, he treasured his beloved home life on a corner lot on a secluded road in the “country,” where every day he enjoyed quality time with Angela and Caroline, the loves of his life.

The family would like to thank all his friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, and lifelong buddies who have reached out to express their love for Jimmy. He will truly be missed by so many.

Chauvin Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of James “Jimmy” Meyer.
