Some of you older Ags may know him, but we lost a great Aggie and man this Friday. James Giles ("Stormy") Kimrey '58 went to be with his Lord and Savior early this past Friday morning.

About as die-hard of an Aggie as it gets, Stormy not only supported the university and program in every way possible, including serving on the 12th Man Board with TexAgs legend dermdoc, and for decades wouldn't miss an Aggie game whether at home or on the road.

He grew up dreaming of seeing the world and visited over 80 countries with his beautiful wife Pat, his friends, and his family, going to far as:

- Summitting Mt Kilamanjaro with his son Mark while in his 60's
- Bungee Jumlping off Victoria Falls Bridge in his 60's
- Riding in a MIG to see the edge of the atmosphere in his 60's

As much as he loved A&M and traveling the world, nothing compared to the incredible love he had for his wife, his kids, his grandkids and his great grandkids.

You could never meet a person who had a bad thing to say about Stormy, he loved everyone he met and left a lifelong impression.

He always said he wanted to live to see the day his grandsons graduated from A&M, and less than 12 hours after my youngest walked the stage last Thursday, he let go of this world to fall into the loving arms of Jesus.

While he is deeply missed by everyone, the impression he left on this world will live on for generations.

Well done, good and faithful servant.

Well done indeed. Here.

He sent me a handwritten thank you note my first year as a student when I wrote a letter to the Batt defending him and some other old Ags with regards to the Greg Hill scandal and it was published.

So sad. Stormy was a good and outstanding young man; he never changed. I first met Stormy in 1956 in my first week as freshman. I was assigned to B Infantry of the Aggie Cadet Corps. Stormy was a junior and a civil engineering major from San Angelo. I had total respect for him then; that never changed. He had an easy-going disposition and the attitude of a mentor who cared. That describes the Stormy that I knew. After retiring and moving to College Station 20 years ago, I saw him several times at his hospitality suite and at Quarterback Club meetings. He was always welcoming a gracious. Stormy was one of the finest men that I have known.
