Jimmy Adair, 82, of Sinton, Texas went to be with the Lord and his Savior Jesus Christ on January 27, 2013 in Houston, Texas after a long illness. He was born August 26, 1930 in Hunt County, Texas.
He started laying pipeline in 1957 and founded Tennessee Pipeline Construction Company in 1964. He worked hard and played hard, enjoyed life to the fullest, was a great problem solver, and never asked an employee to do anything that he wouldn't do himself.

He and his wife supported the San Patricio County Junior Livestock Show and loved the children dearly and also supported Haven of Hope in San Antonio. He enjoyed golf, boating, jet skiing, snow skiing and flying, but most of all he loved the Lord Jesus Christ and spending time with his family.
