Jimmie was a veteran of the United States Navy having served during the Vietnam 
War. In his early years he worked for the Franklin Police Dept. and was a 
dedicated police officer for many years. More recently, he worked for Columbia 
Chevrolet and Toyota, as well as Domino's Pizza. He enjoyed working Bingo at 
the American Legion, wearing his Fred Flintstone socks for laughs. Jimmie never 
met a stranger and was an animal lover. He loved his family more than anything 
and loved life.

Survivors include one son, Jimmie Garrett Burleigh, Jr. of Franklin; one 
daughter, Brandy Lynn Burleigh of Franklin; two granddaughters, Mackenzie 
Michele Burleigh of Franklin and Autumn Stout of Woodville, MS; two grandsons, 
Peyton Stout and Christian Burleigh, both of Woodville, MS; his loving and 
devoted dog, Sammy; as well as many loving family members and friends.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Toni Garlotte Burleigh; and his parents, 
C.C. and Velma Edwards Burleigh.

A gathering of family and friends will be held Tuesday at St. Jules Catholic 
Church from 8:00 AM until time of Mass at 11:00 AM, with the rosary being 
prayed at 10:30 AM.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to Ibert's 
Mortuary to help alleviate funeral expenses.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Ibert's Mortuary, Inc., 1007 Main Street,
