I am sorry to announce the passing of Jim Coone, aka Jarvis H. Lloyd. He was found in his home this morning, dead of an apparent heart attack.

I will keep you posted as I can. Please feel free to e-mail me at traviskilgoreis@hotmail.com.

Travis Kilgore/Hernando D. Lloyd

My sympathies to "Jarvis'" family and friends.

Oh no.

Jim was the person who got me involved in the Webb Board. Can't believe he's gone. We just saw him at Webb Fest.
This is truly tragic, especially considering his young son.

What a great guy.

I'm stunned and saddened to hear about this, but thanks for letting us know, Travis. He sure will be missed around these parts, to say the very least.

That's terrible news. My condolences to his family and friends....

Sorry to hear of the bad news. My condolences to family and friends.

Man, that bites the big one. I guess it tells us we must enjoy the time we're given, because you never know when it might end.

RIP Jarvis, you were a real character!

Are you kidding me? My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. Wow. Like Omatic said, "You never know when it might end."

I'm so sorry to hear of this. Jim, with his uncle, helped to throw one hell of a party last year with Webb and the boys in Pulaski to benefit a friend with cancer. In addition he was a wonderful supporter and Webb Board poster! God Speed.

I, too, am saddened by this news. He was a great supporter and a fellow guitar gear nut. He will be missed. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. WW

That is just terrible. Sure will miss his banter around here.

Oh man, I hate to hear this ... ya know, I'm not sure I ever figured out exactly what his avatar showed ... and I always enjoyed talking *about* Jarvis, in his absence, with Tater Bodine ... may his family, friends and loved ones find strength and comfort.

That Avatar was him holding a small vacuum cleaner to his head as if he were sucking his brain out through it. Jim was a very close friend. Like Tommy Lee, he also got me involved in this Board. I was looking for a copy of Cornflicks on Google and found a page called "Stuff that pisses off Jarvis H. Lloyd". So naturally I took a look at it and it was a list of about 25 things he didn't like. Near the top of the list was that Cornflicks had not been made into a DVD and he was afraid he was going to wear out his VHS copy. We began to email each other and became fast friends and co-conspirators of hair-brained themes on this Board. Jim was a Physician in Dalton, GA who provided medical care for mostly poor Hispanics in his area. He brought his son Jimmy to Webb Fest this year. I got a picture of me with him just like at the other 2 Webb Fests. He had a brilliant mind, a caustic wit and a generous heart.
I am glad to have known him. He and Uncle Butch did put on one hell of a good time last year with a Poker Run, party and concert with Webb Wilder in Pulaski, TN.
God speed Jim!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that avatar picture was Uncle Butch lying on the floor.

Well, if I had waited one minute Tater would have told me what the picture was...

Wow, ... I'm a little stunned to hear the news, Jim was a funny guy... he and Tater really had fun with the Webb Board stuff.... in fact, one of the first major prizes Tater and I gave away at Webb Fest #1, was a Humbucker guitar pickup - because at that time there was some banter from "Jarvis" and Webb and others about Humbucker pickups.... so Tater found one at a guitar shop - put it in a shadow box, had WW sign it with the tag line - "The Buck Stops Here" and got Jim to sign "Jarvis 8ch Lloyd" on there too... I was doing the giveaways and just so happens my own name was drawn ... I was tempted to give it back and re-draw - until he and most of the crowd said - Keep it, Keep it ... so I did ... It is hung up with my other WW signed posters...etc ....
Now that silly little prize has a little more meaning with the passing of the Mad Doctor - Jim Coone. God Speed Jim.... it was great knowing you.

Our condolences to Jims' family and friends,indeed this is terrible news.

One thing I forgot to add. Jarvis is the guy who came up with my current alias...Tater Bodine.

dang!
I very much enjoyed the postings of Jarvis/Jim, the brilliance pierced the veil.
Peace to the friends and family.

(who started the day annoyed for reasons that now seem trivial ... and now steps forward determined to bountifully share the awesome gift of a new day)

Well, Tater, that's what I thought it was (and with flip-up shades?), but was never sure ... thanks!

Yes, having bumped into Jarvis a time or two in recent years, I recall the aforementioned brilliant mind and caustic wit ... sorry I couldn't make it to this year's Webb Fest ... and I wish I'd gotten to know Jim better.

I never met him, but judging from the comments on here he was apparently a great guy. Let's all hope that people have fond memories of us when our time comes.

>> Near the top of the list was that Cornflicks had not
>> been made into a DVD

Please, Tater, tell me he got his hands on "B-Picture Shorts" before it was too late. It wouldn't be right if it finally came out -after- it was too late to enjoy...

Well, Jarvis actually bought one of those machines that transferred VHS to DVD and then sent me a copy of Cornflicks.
And, Jarvis did buy a copy of the new "B-Picture Shorts" DVD at Webb Fest III. I sent several of you some photos I had on my computer of Jarvis at various Webb shows he attended with Dolly and me. If anyone else wants any of the photos, just send me an email and I'll be happy to oblige.
Jim was also known by the Avatars of Walter Ego and Arthur Anomolous on this Board.

I am really humbled by the response to this posting. Jim was not only my nephew but, my closest friend as well. I was in Northern Ohio this past weekend playing and didin't hear about his death until this morning. Oddly enough, I was planning a trip to Dalton this coming Thursday when I got word. If this numbness ever subsides I know there will be a huge hole where my heart used to be and music will never sound as sweet

Uncle Butch

PS Tater, call me at 931.638.3059

Thank you all for your kind words about my friend. No, <i>our</i> friend. I only got to meet a few of you at Webb Fest '07, but it's plain to see that Jim chose his company well.

I hope to see y'all at future Webb Fests.

God bless you all,

Hernando

My prayers and deepest condolences go out to his family and friends.

Fred

I'm so sorry to hear the news.

My condolences to his family and friends...

What a year. . . We lost Snake and Jarvis H Lloyd. . .

Thanks for the pics, Tater! They mean a lot to us all and bring home the togetherness we all feel as face this Thing every day. . .

Aw, hell. . .

Jarvis was one of the last of the full grown men,His WIT and WISDOM will truly be missed by all the love true thinking way out side of the box. Jarvis was the stuff , the real stuff,the good stuff. I never met the man and this is my loss. But I do know that where ever he is right now ,he has them rolling on the floor........My condolences to his family and his extended family

Peace out Jarvis where ever you are.
Buckwheat Cheney

Sorry to hear/read the news. I enjoyed reading Jarvis' postings on the board. He had an ability to be witty and interesting at the same time.

Go in Peace
Colin

I too, am sorry to hear the news. Although I only met him briefly at WebbFest 2007, I knew him better from this great board of friends, his many writings here. He will be missed.

Linda

It's odd. I rarely post, but I check in most every day. I'm a Webb-head from way on back yonder. I never met either of the fellow Wilderians who have moved on from this life, but the kinship we all share through this forum and through this thing called music is STRONG. I'm at a point in life where I can't take time away from my family to attend the WEBBFESTs and certainly don't get to go to as many Webb shows as I'd like to, but it's cool to be able to check in vicariously and see what's up with my extended family of friends. Although I didn't even know him, I can count Jarvis as my friend. My prayers are with his family. I can't help but think of a line from one of my favorite tunes: "...Put love above everything else, and the Rest Will Take Care Of Itself..."

I just got chills reading Hiwatt's post--

Godspeed Jim-

Uncle Butch informed me last night that the Memorial Service for Jim Coone will be held Saturday at 1PM at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Chattanooga, TN.

wow, I'm sorry to hear this. I remember him @ WebbFest 2 but didn't get to talk very much. He will be missed around here as well.

well I don't seem to see Mr. Tater's email addy.

We got the word today that Jim's mother wishes to move his memorial service to Saturday, December 13th, at 1:00 P.M. Please feel free to e-mail me at the address listed in the first post of this topic for directions.

God bless you all,

Hernando
