CENTRAL CITY- Jimmy Lee Bryant Jr. (Jimbo or Little Jim) left this walk of life on August 20, 2026, surrounded by his family. He was born on October 18, 1978 to Jimmie L. Bryant Sr. and Lisa Bracher. Jimbo was of the Baptist faith and he would occasionally attend Powers Chapel church. He was previously employed as a mechanic for Ken American Mines. Until recent years, you could always find Little Jim either working on his drag truck or running it down the track, all along side of his daddy Mike. He loved outdoor activities. You could have found him fishing, hunting or taking his dog, Daisy, for a swim. Jimbo was the kind of person who loved big. He had a big heart and would do anything he could for you, even if that meant giving you the shirt off his back. He was a faithful and loyal friend. Of all of these things, the one thing he found the most joy in was his son, Michael. Michael brought so much joy to Jim’s life. He loved that little boy more than life itself. He was preceded in death by an infant sister, Angel Faith; brother, Michael Bratcher; bonus brother, Nick; grandparents, Connie and Marie Bryant and Chuck and Ernestine Tanner.

Those who are left to cherish his memory is his son, Michael Bryant; parents, Jimmie Bryant Sr, Lisa and Mike Bratcher; sisters, Heather and Keith Vincent, Shena Bratcher (Joe); niece, Abigail Webster; many cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, and racing buddies.
