About Jimmy

Jimmy Mizen was born one fine Saturday afternoon 9th May 1992. It was F.A. cup final day and he arrived half an hour before kick off. He was a beautiful baby weighing in at an impressionable 10lb 4oz.

Jimmy is from a family of six brothers, Danny, Billy, Tommy, Bobby, Harry and George, and two sisters Joanne and Samantha and a much loved nephew James. Jimmy was the second youngest in the family.

Jimmy attended St. Winifred’s infant and junior school; he really enjoyed his time there and made the first of many lasting friendships. He was an altar server at his local church Our Lady of Lourdes, where he was also a member of the beavers and cubs. He used to have piano lessons and also enjoyed learning to play the guitar, like his brother Tommy. He was a member of Sidcup Rugby Club and he enjoyed playing the game and he loved the atmosphere and the comradeship of the club and the many friends he met. He was well known because of being Danny’s little brother and was proud to be called little Dan. His football team was Millwall FC, and although he was not as regular at matches as his brother Harry he was proud to be a supporter.

In 2003 Jimmy went to his secondary school St. Thomas More in Eltham. Although he found school work hard he enjoyed his time there and achieved well. He had many friends and earned the respect and affection of all the staff for his polite, helpful and friendly nature. Many people speak about his infectious smile and the way he could make people feel good about themselves.

He used to work with his dad on Saturdays, helping him to mend shoes, cut keys and change watch batteries. Many customers have remarked on how helpful and polite he was. At home Jimmy was his mum’s and his aunty Lyn’s odd job man, mending decorating and gardening. All of which he was good at and enjoyed doing.

He loved and was loved dearly by all his family. He was a joy to be around and could lift anyone’s spirits. He was a fine, decent, caring young man, who enjoyed life and is deeply missed.
