John 14:2
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am . You know the way to the place where I am going."
Jimmie Clay Hauser, a beloved veteran, car enthusiast, and lifelong conversationalist, passed away peacefully at the age of 88. Born on March 14, 1937, in Cameron, South Carolina, Jimmie was the son of Leon and Lessie Houser, and the birth son of Almeanor Houser, nee Glover. His grandparents were Sarah and Prailou Houser.
Jimmie dedicated 22 of his life to serving in the United States Army, retiring as a Staff Sergeant in artillery supply. His service took him around the world, including Germany, Okinawa, and various locations in the United States. He later built a life in places such as Texas, Jamaica (Queens), and Key West. While living in Key West, he worked at Oceanside Marina for many years. Jimmie leaves a lasting impression on all those he met.
A man of many passions, Jimmie had an undeniable love for cars - especially Corvettes - music, dancing, and collecting and creating treasured items. His ability to strike up a conversation with anyone earned him the affectionate title of "Mayor of Lantern Key", a testament to his gift for connecting with people.
Jimmie was a decorated veteran receiving honors for his service. He is survived by his wife, Evelyn Hauser; daughters, Ingrid and Valencia; grandson, Christian; son-in-law, Buddy, and many cousins, including James and Hercules Haigler, along with many friends and loved ones who will forever cherish his stories, laughter, and unwavering spirit.
Jimmie Hauser lived a life full of adventure, service, and joy. He will be deeply missed, but fondly remembered, by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
