Clovis M Byars Herring is one of those special people who have given so much to us in our search for our heritage. It is with sadness that I share news of the loss of a special person in Clovis' life, her beloved husband of 62 years, Jimmy Mack Herring. Please keep Clovis and Jimmy in your prayers. Joel* Funeral services for Jimmy Mack Herring, age 79, of Buffalo are scheduled for Sunday, July 4, at 2 PM at the Walters' Buffalo Funeral Home in Buffalo. Rev.

Visitation is set for Sunday from 9 AM until 2 PM at the funeral home. On April 23, 1931, Jimmy Mack Herring was born to Bob and Annie (Blake) Herring in Harris County, Texas. He was the youngest of six boys born to that family. His parents also took in and raised two more boys on their farm near Houston. Jimmy married Clovis M. Byars on May 23, 1948. They were very young and very much "in love". Jimmy worked as an antique refinisher and enjoyed buying, fixing and selling beautiful antique furniture. They moved to Leon County in 1978. As an older man, Jimmy's biggest love was his grandchildren...especially his granddaughter. He was very much a "family man" and spent much time doing things with his family. He always enjoyed fishing and called it "good medicine". He and Clovis were members of the First Baptist Church in Buffalo. Jimmy and Clovis were also blessed with great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; a son, Danny Herring; an infant daughter, Karen Herring and all of his brothers. Jimmy Herring passed away in a Buffalo nursing home on July 1, 2010. Surviving family includes his wife of 62 years, Clovis M. Herring of Buffalo; a daughter, Kathi Preiska of Houston; five grandchildren, Melanie Menefee and husband, Carl, of Buffalo, Danny Wise-Herring and wife, Marisa of Port Isabel, Texas, Matt Herring of Beeville, Texas, Nicolas Prieska and Zachary Preiska, both of Houston; seven great grandchildren, C.J., Colby, Collin, Marina, Dagen, Alex and Audrey Ann.
