Jimmy Alvin Cogdill

Mr. Jimmy Alvin Cogdill, age 70, of Madisonville, Tennessee, passed away peacefully at his home on June 28, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

Born on August 7, 1955, in Sweetwater, Tennessee, Jimmy was the son of the late James Cogdill and Katherine Baker Cogdill. He made his home in Madisonville, where he was known as a hardworking, faithful, and family-oriented man.

Jimmy dedicated more than 38 years of his life to the construction industry, where he earned the respect of those who worked alongside him through his strong work ethic and dependability.

Outside of work, Jimmy found joy in the simple things in life. He loved playing the guitar, spending time with his family and friends, and was happiest when those he loved were gathered together. A devoted Baptist, Jimmy cherished his faith and found comfort and strength in reading his Bible. His quiet kindness, steady presence, and unwavering love for his family will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Jimmy is survived by his loving wife of 26 years, Elvina Cogdill; his sons, Jason Cogdill and Adam Cogdill; his daughters, Amy Davidson (Ronnie) and Katie Cogdill; his stepson, Donald Goodman, Jr. (Kandice); his grandchildren, Katelyn Streeter (Vince), Piper Cogdill, Abigail Shaddick, Josh Smith, Issac Cogdill, Elijah Cogdill, Clay Cogdill, and A.J. Shaddick; his step-grandchildren, Cody Goodman (Natalee), Zackary Goodman, and Rhet Goodman (Chelsea); his great-grandson, Rowlan Streeter; his step-great-grandchildren, Tynslee, Jaxson, Hayden, Stetson, Kloee, Jenny, and John Goodman; his brothers, Leon Cogdill, Leslie and Elaine Cogdill; his sisters, Nancy Hall and Tabitha Powers; along with several nieces, nephews, extended family members, and many dear friends.

In addition to his parents, Jimmy was preceded in death by his brothers, Edward Cogdill, Marvin Cogdill, Billy Ray Cogdill, and Ronnie Cogdill.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. at Oak Grove Baptist Church, 1057 Oak Grove Road, Madisonville, Tennessee 37354.

Jimmy's family will forever remember his gentle spirit, his steadfast faith, his love of music, and the countless memories he created with those he loved most. His legacy of love, hard work, and devotion to family will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know him.
