He is further survived by his brothers and sisters, Joyce Rimes David and husband Henry, Ben Rimes and wife Sheryl, Robert Rimes and wife Robin and Dapheny Rimes. 

He will be missed not just by his loving family, but also his faithful canine companion Bella.

 The love of his family stands as a lasting part of his memory and the life he shared with them over many years.

He was preceded in death by his father, Davis Rimes Sr.; his mother, Ann Scafidel Rimes; his brothers, Chuck Rimes and Billy Rimes; and his sister, Kathleen Rimes Ryle.
