Jimmy Foley was born on March 13, 1957, in Childress, Texas, to the late Freeman and Lorene (Parker) Foley. He married Tammie (McKinney) Foley in Dallas, Texas, on October 11, 1977. Jimmy worked as a truck driver for James and Vickie Pickel for many years. He was a devoted man of full Pentecostal faith and loved sharing his beliefs with others. Music was a special part of his life, and he played in a gospel band where his talent and passion brought joy to many. Being left-handed, Jimmy had the unique ability to play his guitar upside down, a skill that made him memorable to everyone who heard him play.
