He was born to the late Harry Michael and Mildred "Millie" (Lyons) Lumbirt on September 20, 1953, in Logansport.
Jimmy graduated from Logansport High School in 1972, and led a successful career managing Arone Hardware before retiring in 2016, after 45 years of service.
His passion of helping others could be seen through his dedicated work at the hardware store, not only locating needed items, but also finding other local services to make sure customers were satisfied.

His pastime pleasures included quilting, canning, caring for his animals and pets, socializing, and pranking his loved ones. Most of all Jimmy valued spending time, caring for, and helping the people he loved, his friends and family.
Preceding him in death were his father, Harry Michael; mother, Mildred (Lyons) Lumbirt; step-father, Carl Lumbirt; and loved ones, Joseph Arone, and Joel and Nicholas Arone.
