James A "Jimmy" Fayed II

James A. “Jimmy” Fayed II, 73, of Port Huron, died Sunday, August 4, 2024.

Jimmy, as he was affectionately known to his friends, was born on November 22, 1950. He married Marsha Ann Dickinson on April 24, 1968.

He owned and operated Skidgies Bar for over 50 years. Jimmy was a gifted artist and talented carpenter. He loved to draw, paint, create stained glass art, etch and sandblast glass and mirrors. His love for Harley Davidson motorcycles and Cadillacs was evident in the collection he had amassed over the years. He showed great generosity toward his friends and family. Jimmy was making jokes and singing until the very end. He will be dearly missed by many.

He is survived by his daughter, Becky (John) Mayes; daughter-in-law, Sharon Fayed; four grandchildren, Tony Fayed (Kayla Kernohan), Valerie Louks (Chris Sosa) and Drew and Lacey Mayes; three great-grandchildren, Christopher, Vanessa, and Julian Sosa; and lifelong friend and companion, Sherri Stover. He was preceded in death by his wife, Marsha; son, James A. Fayed III; and parents, John and Claradene Wherwein and James A. Fayed.

Cremation has taken place and a memorial event to celebrate Jimmy’s life will be held at a later date.
