Jimmy was born on September 9, 1966, in Lubbock, Texas to Rudy and Mary (Guzman) Marrugo. He was incredibly artistic in many ways ranging from his drawing abilities, painting skills, and even his writings. Jimmy spent many hours creating short stories based off of his real life experiences.

By trade, Jimmy used his artistic abilities to start a career as a painter. He painted houses, buildings, facilities, and just about anything that needed a fresh look. He was just a very simple man. He loved to watch his Dallas Cowboys play football, and enjoyed fishing when he had the time.

Jimmy is preceded in death by his grandparents and his father. Those left to cherish his memories are his mother, Mary, daughter Elisa Marrugo and spouse Andreas Gutierrez and their children Khloe, Katalina, and Santiago, bonus son, Michael Kater, sisters, Carolyn Osbourne and spouse Desmond and Patricia Copeland, brother, Joe Rudy Marrugo; as well as many extended family and friends.
