James Howard "Jimmy" Switzer

James Howard “Jimmy” Switzer, age 67, of Williamstown, Kentucky, passed away on April 4, 2026.

Born on August 4, 1958, in Owenton, Kentucky, Jimmy was the son of the late Raymond Howard Switzer and Edith Mae Souder Latimer. Known for his humble spirit and easy-going nature, he lived a life defined by simple pleasures and a generous heart.

Jimmy had a deep passion for music and was rarely happier than when he was playing his guitar. He frequently shared his talent with friends and brought joy to residents at the local nursing home through his playing. When he wasn't picking a tune, Jimmy could often be found outdoors, finding peace while fishing or tending to his garden.

He will be remembered by those who knew him for his kindness and his ability to find contentment in the quiet moments of life.

He is survived by two brothers; Eddie (Wanda) Switzer of Dry Ridge, KY, Ronnie (Diana) Switzer of Ryan, OK, and a sister Dorothy “Dotty” Valentine of Perue, IN along with many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, Friday, April 10, 2026 at the Elliston Stanley Funeral Home in Williamstown, KY. Graveside Services will be at 1:30 at the Williamstown Cemetery with Rev. Howard Chipman officiating.
