Deacon Jimmy Neal Little was born on July 7, 1952, in Jasper, Texas to late Earnest Little, Sr., and Vida Hadnot. He was joined to Jesus at a young age and was a great man of God.

He attended Jasper public schools and later worked in food service for many years until his health began to decline. After this, he was always busy for the Lord: going to service, praying, and working for Jesus.

He was preceded in death by his father and mother; brothers, Earnest Little, Jr., Howard Little, and Phillip Jones; and sisters, Alandrus Gray, Deidre Little, and Phyllis Quinn.

He leaves to cherish his memory: his cousins, other relatives, and friends.
