James Hinson
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.

I miss you, Grandpa. I can’t believe you are really gone. Growing up, I used to love going to your house and riding horses. I loved listening to all your hilarious stories. What I loved most of all was how you always made us feel so loved and welcome. That’s what I remember most and that’s what I’ll treasure forever.

Uncle Jimmy we love you and Aunt Davie. I know you are now with Jesus . Please give Mama and Daddy a hug and kiss for us. Every time I hear a joke, see a ranch with cattle and horses, etc, , eat fresh okra, I will think of Aunt Davie and you’re sacrifice and generosity.

Davie you and Jimmy ( John Wayne) gave me and many happy moments. Regret we never did the casino trip.. loved jimmy loving little Ferrell and telling you Davie be sure they are feeding her. One good thing he never had to worry about Stone. I’m sure y’all know how much the kids loved you. Bill and calling you friends.
