St. George, Utah - James Frank Leavitt "Jimmy", 41, passed away on March 5, 2022, at St. George Regional Hospital, surrounded by his family.  He was born on April 16, 1980, in Winnemucca, NV, to Steven Leo Leavitt and Marietta Rigby.

Everyone who knew Jimmy, knew what a special guy he was.  Whenever he smiled, he would light up a room.  He reminded us of the simple but most meaningful things of life.  He loved balloons, helicopters, collecting things (such as pens and straws), spinning things, going to the gas station to get his Dr. Pepper, and he especially loved his mom, twin brother and family.

His mom would pick him up every Sunday and take him on outings to the park, out to eat, to balloon shows, etc.  He loved being outside and spending time with family.

Jimmy is survived by his mother, Marietta Rigby; father, Steven (Rae) Leavitt; his siblings: LaDessa (Terry) Swinscoe, Jennifer (Todd) Schild, John (Morgan) Leavitt; and nieces and nephews: Jalesa Hutchens, Jordan Wade, Courtney (Carter) Houghton, Kaytlin Wade, Taya Leavitt and Emmabelle Leavitt.

We want to thank all of the people who have cared for Jimmy over the years. Especially the loving and patient people at Innovative Harbor and Turn Community Services. He was loved by everyone there, as well as his roommates.

In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made to TURN Community Services, https://www.turncommunityservices.org/ or Innovative Harbor, https://www.innovativeharbor.com/ .

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, July 9, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. in the Veyo Cemetery.
