He was the son of the late William C. Gatton and Mary C. Evans Gatton. Jimmy was a lifelong resident of St. Mary's County and was very proud to call this home. You could often find him riding around Leonardtown in his pickup truck, stopping at the local hot spots to say hello to friends or just to people watch and you could often catch him somewhere playing Keno and the Lottery. In his early years, he was an altar boy at Our Lady's Church, went to Our Lady's Church School and went on to attend Saint Mary's Academy. Early in his career, Jimmy worked for Par Gas, but then started working construction. A few years later he opened his excavating business, J & W Construction with a friend, where he worked from 1975 until retirement in year 2000. With excavating being his passion, you would often find him on the backhoe. Jimmy had a keen eye and he took great pride in his work. Throughout his life, he also enjoyed helping friends and family with whatever they asked of him. Jimmy married the love of his life, Faye (Williams), in Leonardtown on August 20, 1970.
