James H. “Jimmy” Bean, 67, of Floral City, FL passed away January 10, 2018 at his residence in Floral City. He was born in St. Petersburg, FL on February 1, 1950 to the late Victor Hugo and Betty Jo (Wendell) Bean. James was a Lineman with Withlacoochee River Electric Company, and arrived in this area in 2011, coming from Brooksville, FL. He was Pentecostal by faith, and enjoyed flea markets, riding motorcycles, and going to yard sales. Most importantly, he was a very loving and dedicated husband. He was the type of man who would never hesitate to say “I Love You”.
James was preceded in death by one son, Rodney Bean.

He is resting peacefully with his son Rodney, watching and waiting on us. He has left a hole in our lives and hearts that will never be filled. We are all heartbroken. He was loved by his wife, his family, and his friends. He made people better just by being himself. He is a good man.
