Jimmie Earl Laden, born October 5, 1948, in Salina, Kansas, passed away at home surrounded by the love of his family on October 6th, 2026. He was the son of Harry and Darlene Laden and the second of five children.

Jimmie married the love of his life, Sandra “Sandi” Laden, on June 17, 1976. Together, they built a life filled with family, laughter, and countless memories. He was a devoted father to his daughters, Brandy and Stacy, a proud grandfather to Kaitlyn, Megan, Caden, and Dalen, and a loving great-grandfather to Tobias.

Those who knew Jimmie will remember his easygoing nature, his love of good company, and his ability to enjoy the simple things in life. He loved socializing with family and friends, watching movies, shooting pool, hunting, fishing, and enjoying a cold beer. More than anything, Jimmie cherished the people around him and the time spent making memories with those he loved.
