Shannon Armour
Jimmy's Wife
Jimmy Armour

November 21st, 1964 - July 19th, 2020
Forever in Our Hearts
Jimmy Armour passed away on July 19, 2020, after a 5-year battle with metastatic melanoma. He leaves behind his best friend and wife of 29 years Shannon, son Jason, daughters Mindi and Ashley, four grandchildren, as well as his mother Sharon, uncles Roy and Richard, sisters Dawn and Cheryl, nephews Benjamin and Anthony, nieces Athena, Brittani, and Briana, several grand-nieces and grand-nephews and numerous cousins.
Now with God, he will be reunited with loved ones who passed on previously include grandfather Walter, his grandmother, dad Jim Sr., brother Kevin, and uncle Larry, also a few close and missed friends.
From the outside he was a big guy that could seem intimidating. But once you got to know him, you would find that inside he was a big teddy bear with an intelligent mind, a fighting spirit and a big heart. In life Jimmy aspired to be a good man, a loyal friend and husband, the best dad he could be, and a strong provider for his family. It was an example set by his dad that he strived to match in his own way.
Jimmy had a way of being able to read people, understand and relate to them quickly. He was funny and enjoyed making people laugh, especially in a sad or stressful moment, by saying something unexpected. He was kind-hearted and generous, helping others wherever and whenever he found a need. But he also didn't hesitate to tell anyone his opinion and how he saw things. Always one to always keep things interesting, to say the least!
Jimmy, your family and friends are proud of you. We were blessed by your presence in our lives. We will miss you until we see you again. Until then, walk with God, be free and rest in peace.

I didn't get to spend as much time as I should have with Jimmy. Not sure why but the Armour family has never been known for being close. The time I did spend was always fun and full of interesting conversations. I can remember the one and only Armour family reunion of my youth, Jimmy, myself, David and Patrick got our own room at the hotel.. I still can't believe our parents let that happen.

Jimmy was more than a coworker, more than a supervisor. He was a good friend, someone I looked up to and looked forward to coming to work to see. A genuine man of honesty and integrity, he would without hesitation buy me (and the entire tire shop) a breakfast burrito because I was a poor struggling college student and was trying to feed my kids. It was Jimmy's way to help provide for my kids, if he bought me some food, I could afford to buy my kids food. We would often get in long debates at volumes waaaaaayy to loud for work, about politics and religion and morals and just life. I bonded with him instantly over these convos. Even though we often had different opinions on a particular subject matter, Jimmy and I would always respect one another, and just as often find common ground to agree on. I grew from these conversations, much more than I ever told him. Jimmy often spoke of family, and how lucky he was. He had amazing children whom he was incredibly proud of, and often bragged about their accomplishments, life experiences, or just who they had become. He revered his dad, and I knew he was a good man not only because of the man Jimmy raised, but because Jimmy always admitted that some random wisdom he had that I was impressed with was passed down to him by his dad. Jimmy was the best kind of man, one that never was embarrassed to speak at length about his love for his wife. You could tell when he got word that Shannon was coming to see him at work, he would always be happy, grinning with excitement. Jimmy and I had many great talks about marriage and love. He knew how lucky he was, and he always strived to make Shannon know that he knew. I saw it even from a distance. Ill miss Jimmy dearly. I moved away a couple years ago, and had been attempting to take him out for a burger and beer, but I always missed him and we couldn't connect. He was in San Diego, I was working, etc. I will forever regret not being able to have one more night hanging with Jimmy. I'll miss his laugh, his stare when you've done something he thinks is stupid

Jimmy was a great man. To say he was a coworker and supervisor wouldn’t come close to what he really was. He was a friend to everyone and someone who would (and did) go buy you a belt because the ‘higher-ups’ didn’t like yours. He didn’t care what you ‘did,’ but how you were bettering the situation. He was a great man and I’m - better man having known him. ‘Tire Shop Santa’ will be missed be all! Until Valhalla brother.
Miguel
One of the most resilient, big hearted person that I was lucky enough to ever met. I used to close the shop with him when I first moved to Portland. Coming from San Diego myself we had stories to tell. Being the stubborn mofos that we are, we had our differences but we always talked it out. Some of most random stuff that I’ve heard that had me cracking up. I should’ve chilled with him more when I was there. I’m going off the top of my head right now and I wish I had more to type. I feel for your loss. I’ll never forget that tough sob.

Jim was my son-in-law. A good man, for sure. He was always there to help and didn't ask for anything in return. He had a big heart and a funny sense of humor. I am glad I was able to know him, but I am sure going to miss him. Enjoy Heaven, Jim. We will all be together again - and probably sooner than you think!

Jim will always be dear to my heart. As his mother-in-law, we had so much fun telling jokes on each other. He was funny, kind and a loving man. A huge loss to our family, but I know I will see him again. Don't have too much fun in Heaven without me, Jim!
