in honor of Jimmy.

I had the great pleasure of meeting JR when I worked at Channelview supply. I however did not call him JR, or Jimmy I called him sunshine. He got the nickname the first time I met him because he came in like a ray of sunshine. With a giant smile on his face. I will never forget my sunshine. The world is definitely a little darker with out him here. I will never forget how he loved his family biological and collected. I know he is looking down on all of us. Shining bright as always. Rest easy sunshine until we met again.

JR was a very proud man. Always had a smile on his face period. When I started working for Channelview Supply, JR would help me wait on the customers. He was retired then. I didn't know anything about RV's. He would come to the store every day to check on everyone. He lived on the property which made it convenient to come to the store and visit anytime. He was always polite and respectful, a real gentleman. He was always bragging on how strong he was. He was proud of his age. He would ask customers "how old do you think I am?". I do have to admit he did look good for his age. He loved looking for good deals on vehicles, he would buy and sale, it seemed like all the time. You would never know what he would be driving next. He also did the same with RV's. JR served our country, and I am thankful for that. He enjoyed going to church and family functions. He loved his family!! JR you are missed and loved!! May you be flying high with the Angels! - Cheryl Simoneaux

It was an honor to have had the opportunity of meeting and knowing Mr JR years back. He was such a wonderful, loving, caring one of a kind gentleman and knew when someone needed a smile or hug. He gave me lots of words of encouragement when needed back then. He will definitely be missed and thought of always. My sincere condolences and prayers to his family as well as family at Channelview Supply Co. rest easy sir, your ikr here is done. God speed 🙏🏻

We knew him as JR and he was an essential member of our Channelview Supply family! I can't believe I've known him half my life, over 25 years. He will be sorely missed by employees and many customers too. He watched all my kids grow up here at the shop. He especially loved his lunches with my youngest, also the sweetest. We missed him as soon as he wasn't able to do his daily visit and mourn him now that he's left this world. I admired him for so many reasons - he was caring, charming, hardworking and always smiling. Always willing to extend a helping hand, I was so glad I could do the same for him when he needed a little extra care and comfort later in life. Brings a smile and tears to think of him now. He will forever remain in our hearts and memories!

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Jimmy R. Martin aka Jay-R 7 years ago when I started working at Channelview Supply. He was a great friend, more like a grandfather to me! Since the day I met him we would come in the store every day to say good morning and get a hug! I really felt his absence after he moved!

My fondest memory of him is when he would punch his stomach and say it was as hard as a rock and for me to punch him. I would say no, I'm not going to punch you lol . He was tough one for sure and always on the go!!

He was always there to listen when I needed to vent or needed advice. And would always tell people "she's a sweet lady".

The best conversations we had was when he would tell me about all his life experiences. I will always cherish his big smile and laugh in my memory, with hopes it never fades away. A person like him is hard to forget!!
Love you Jay-R and you will be missed dearly, everyday!!!! Your friend - Maritza Salinas
