Jimmie Allen "Paw Paw" Padgett

Jimmie Allen "Paw Paw" Padgett, 73, passed away on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.

Mr. Padgett was born February 14, 1952, in Florence County to Mildred and James M. Padgett.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his granddaughter, McKayla Smith.

He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Clara Faye Padgett; his son, James D. Padgett (Michell); daughters, Jabea L. Talbert and Jaclyn Graves (Rhett); grandchildren, Rachel M. Griffin, Jessie Graves (Lucas Cooper), Haiden A. Graves, Carter P. Graves, Hanna Padgett, Brad Stone and Erin Smith; and great-grandchildren, Charlie Mae Cooper and Jacob Lee Hall. He is also survived by his sister, Candace Hodge, and his "bonus daughters," Karen M. Suggs and Katina A. Wilson. He was deeply loved by his family and all who knew him.

Jimmie proudly served in the United States Army. He loved his family first, and fishing was at the top of the list right behind them. Whether he was on the water with a rod in hand or surrounded by his grandchildren, he was exactly where he wanted to be.

A church led memorial service will be held Friday, October 3 at 3:00 p.m. at Mt. Zion Church, 1883 South Pamplico Hwy, Pamplico, SC 29583. The family will receive visitors at the home.
