What If?

AJ — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:02:02 +0000

So, as of today it’s been 997 days since Randy and Calvin murdered Jimi. I’m supposed to be past it by now right? There is still not a day that goes by that I don’t think of Jimi. There isn’t a day that has gone by that I haven’t mentioned him in one way or another. So I sit here and think about the things that we did together and the things that he did with other members of my family and I wonder….. What if……

To be continued…….

Everything reminds me of you in some way!

Listening to wedding music reminds me of you. Watching your cats reminds me of you. Spending time at the maisons house reminds me of you. Eating apple annies reminds me of you. Going to the dojo reminds me of you. Eating birthday cake reminds me of you. Looking at my angel reminds me of you. Thinking of good things reminds me of you. Reading about health foods reminds me of you. A beautiful day like today reminds me of you. As you can see EVERYTHING reminds me of you.

Happy to tell you that we finally made it to visit your amazing headstone on your birthday It truly is beautiful just like you!

We went to church recently too! You should be proud of us.

Hoping that you will make more great things come our way, like you have been lately!

Just wanted to drop in and say: I miss you and love you EVERYDAY!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Jimi, You know that you are loved and missed every single day. Your life on Earth was cut short, but I know you are happy and content up in Heaven. 49 yrs ago today a child was born. He became a beautiful, caring and loving human being that I wish I was alot like you were. I miss you sooo much sometimes I have to push myself to function without your motivation and witt to push me. Lloyd does a great job but there is still a giant hole in my heart from missing the beautiful person you were and are. Hope you a entertaining all the other souls there in heaven. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMI! Love your sister#6 Wilma

The First Time I Met Jimi

Hi
Everyone,

This
is Jeff Brown, a co-worker of Jimi’s.
I can assure you all that ALL of us who work with Jimi found him to a wonderful
person to be around. As I stated earlier, Jimi and I hired in to the plant on
the same day. We had 3 weeks of classroom training before we were able to even
see the plant floor. I knew from the first day of training that he had a great
sense of humor. There were about 50 of us in the same room. Where Jimi was
sitting, there was an empty seat between him and the next person. We all had to
write our names on a name tent and sit it in front of us. Jimi came up for a
name of a person in the empty seat. He wrote down the name HARVEY (as in the old
jimmy Stewart movie) and placed the tent in front of the seat. As the days went
on, we had several different speakers come in to talk to us about the plant.
Every one of them would ALWAYS ask were Harvey WAS. (Keep in mind that none of us ever
met before). We all looked at Jimi to hear the excuse of Harvey ’s absents. Jimi
NEVER failed to make the whole room start laughing. He kept us entertained all
through the training classes.

We
all miss the “little bastard“ (that was the nickname some of his co-workers
gave him, just because of the crazy stories he would tell us.)

I am
sure he is looking down on all us just grinning from ear to ear wanting to tell
us something crazy! And I for one can’t wait to hear what he has to
say.

Jeff

Our Friend Jimi

On May 11, 2009, the world lost a great Human Being. My friend and Co-Worker Jimi Moenart was shot and killed in cold blood by 2 … Oh, lets call them “punks“ for now.

I have met a lot of people in my life time, but never met anyone like Jimi.

We hired in at the plant on the same day. We worked in the same department. As a Union Rep. I had the pleasure of representing Jimi.

Jimi was the type of person who was always smiling, telling jokes. He seem to have a gift of putting everyone around him in a better mood. I never remember seeing him in a bad mood, or mad at anyone. Boy, could he ever tell the best stories!

I remember back a few years ago, we were working the night shift, when I noticed Jimi riding his bike toward me. I could tell he was up to something, because he had that look in his eyes. He stopped and asked me a question on the contract. I don’t remember the exact question, but I noticed right away that he was up to something. After I told him he couldn’t do what he asked about, he rephrased the question, hoping to get a different answer from me. Again, I told him he couldn’t do it. So, he tried a third time. He really wanted to do whatever he was planning. At that point, I had to start laughing at him, then he looked at me at and starting laughing himself saying that “well, I tried“.

A couple of guys gave him the nickname “little bastard“. That was what they called him after one of his stories.

He was very devoted to his family and his Church. He enjoyed life to the fullest.

The police caught the 2 guys who shot our friend and justice was served.

We will all remember his great sense of humor and his gift of making people laugh. When I finally decide to grow up, I want to be just like him.

We will never forget our friend Jimi …. The “little bastard“!

Forever in my Heart

When I got the phone call stating you were gone… I couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t imagine life with out you. It seemed so un-real!

I still to this day can’t believe it and still can’t imagine life without you. It still seems un-real!

I can not believe its been two years since I saw you last.

The really crazy thing about it is yesterday was the last time I saw you (2 years ago) and I was doing the same thing I did the night I saw you last. Watching the wings game and doing homework/something like that. It was like it was deja vu but without you.

The 2 years have flown by and yet time has stopped making each day go by slow. If that makes any sense.

I pray that you are proud of all of us. I hope that you are watching over all of us. I know your with us always.

I know that I miss you every single day. I think about you every single day. While your cats our cuddling with me… its hard not to think about you.

You were such an amazing man/person/friend/uncle! I cherish every minute I have spent with you.

RIP Uncle Jimi

With love always, Krystal

2 years since we lost our beloved brother

Jimi, it has been 2 years today since your life was taken from us. I know that your spirit lives on with everyone that you knew and loved. It is still very hard to believe you are not with us only in our hearts and the wonderful memories you left us. Jimi I miss each and every day and I have this big hole in my heart since you were taken from us. I know that you are in peace and I hope by now you are the choir director in heaven. I wish I had the strength to be like you my sweet Jimi. I want to see the best in people like you did and enjoy every part of my life like you did (but I have lost that part of me when we got word on 5/12/09 that were not with us any longer). You had such strong faith I know you were taken right to heaven and were greated by all that loved you when they were still on earth. I need to find the faith and strength you had with life and I am having a great deal of trouble finding it. I feel stuck and can’t move forward. I pray I am not disappointing you with my actions and attitude because I know you would have dusted yourself off and went on. You are my hero with life and you truly lived it to the fullest. You will always be with me and I hope some day I will get some understanding why of all people you were chosen to return home and be with mom and dad and everyone else that you were so truly loved by. My sweet loving brother may you be in peace (which I know in my heart that you are) and please entertain all of the angles in heaven with your wonderful sense of humor and your beautiful singing voice. I will cherish the time we had together and pray that when it is my time to come home I will be joining you in heaven for eternity. I will love you my brother and I will never forget the Jimi that made his mark on earth and on everyone you came in contact with. I am very proud to say I was blessed with you as my brother. I love you forever. Your loving sister Debbie.
