Jimmy was born on September 14, 1949, in Raleigh, North Carolina, to the late Jack and Lola Leveridge. He was a hardworking, devoted, and generous man whose greatest happiness was the love he shared with his family and friends. Jimmy retired after more than 30 years with Bonitz Commercial Roofing, where he proudly served as manager.

A lifelong sports fan, Jimmy was a member of the Wolfpack Club for more than 50 years and rarely missed an opportunity to cheer on his beloved Wolfpack, holding football and basketball season tickets for many years. He also had a great love for golf and especially enjoyed his weekly standing tee time at Morehead City Country Club.

For 35 years, Jimmy was married to the love of his life, Davie, until her passing following a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s disease. His children and grandson Carson were the most important part of his life. He took great pride in being a father and grandfather. He loved traveling, with trips to Florida being among his favorite getaways. Later in life he cherished time spent with his sister, creating special memories together. Jimmy loved everyone and will be deeply missed by his friends and family.

Those remaining to cherish his memory are his daughters, Michelle Leveridge Shingleton (Chad) of Carolina Beach, N.C., Leah Leveridge of Atlantic Beach, North Carolina; sister, Jackie Leveridge Holland of Jacksonville, Florida; grandchild, Carson James Shingleton; brother-in-law, Tat Fearing (Iva) of Newport, North Carolina; special friend, Lise Sabiston of Beaufort, North Carolina; and several nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Jimmy was preceded in death by his wife, Davie Fearing Leveridge.
