TESTIMONIALS Without Jimmy Walker there would be no Muhammad Ali Parkinson - photo 2
TESTIMONIALS

Without Jimmy Walker, there would be no Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center. I cant thank Jimmy enough for all he has done for the MAPC patients.

Lonnie Ali, wife of Muhammad Ali

Jimmy Walker is a rare individual. People like him who wish to do good, help others, and generally make the world a better place, asking nothing for themselves, do not come along very often. Helping others less fortunate than ourselves is perhaps the highest calling any of us can hope to achieve. Jimmy is a role model for all.

Phil Anschutz, investor and Forbes 400 businessman

Jimmy Walker is a true servant leader! He has few, if any, ego needs. His focus is always on helping others. What a special human being.

Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager

There are seven billion people in the world and Jimmy probably knows half of them.

Dale Brown, former LSU coach and member of College Basketball Hall of Fame

Jimmy is one of my closest friends. He is important to so many different people. For example, Jimmy started a program for children from the inner city called Bicycles for Kids. That program has given away 10,000 bicycles to kids in needs. He brings in speakers to encourage the homeless in a program at St. Vincent de Paul called Never Give Up.

Jerry Colangelo, former owner of the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks and managing director of Team USA Basketball

When I first met Jimmy, I had never sold one record. No one knew who I was. And this dude was so warm and loving and sweet with me. He had so much time for me. I have met so many people in my life, but very few have had the impact of Jimmy Walker.

Michael Bubl, Grammy award-winning singer and songwriter

Jimmy is the gentlest arm-twister Ive ever met. And I mean that with the utmost respect. It seems as though Jimmy is asking, but he is really a giver.

Kevin Costner, Academy Award-winning actor, director, and producer

Jimmy is amazing. Right after I bought the Mavericks, I traveled with the team to Phoenix. I didnt know Jimmy, but he approached me at our hotel, introduced himself, and made a simple offer to me. He said, Mark, whatever you need, just let me know. Its a statement I have heard more times than I can count. Coming from most people, its a throwaway statement. Coming from Jimmy Walker, its a commitment. And he has always been there for anything I need. Jimmy is a true gentleman with a heart of gold.

Mark Cuban, Forbes 400 businessman, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and star of Shark Tank

Jimmy Walker has mastered the art of relationship maintenance. His ability to make connections and stay involved with people he meets teaches everyone that paying attention to details will go a long way.

Mike DAntoni, two-time NBA Coach of the Year

Jimmy Walker has done a tremendous job putting together Celebrity Fight Night charity events year in and year out.

Larry Fitzgerald, NFL star for the Arizona Cardinals

Jimmy is a unique individual. When the bank asks me to list my assets, I start with my friendship with Jimmy. I have so much respect for him as a person, father, and husband.

Lou Holtz, former University of Notre Dame head football coach

There has not been a year since 2008 when I havent heard from Jimmy, always gracious, always solicitous, always thoughtful. Hes indeed the quintessential gentleman in a modern age when there are so few who can similarly qualify for the description.

Clive Davis, Hall of Fame music legend

I could not imagine my life without Jimmy Walker in it. He has brought so much joy to me and my family and his dedication to Celebrity Fight Night will never be equaled by anyone else in my lifetime for any other cause period! The mold was definitely broken after God made this man. He is one of a kind, a superhuman, a beautiful friend. He is a gentleman and a gentle man. Im proud to call him a friend.

David Foster, sixteen-time Grammy award-winning musician

Jimmy stays in touch with people better than anyone I know. He probably invented Twitter without taking credit for the idea.

David Falk, sports agent who represented Michael Jordan

Jimmy makes me smile every time all the time. Why? Because he loves and lifts me every time all the time. People dont care how much you know until they know how much you care. Nobody cares like Jimmy!

John Maxwell, bestselling author and professional speaker

Jimmy Walker is an outstanding businessman and a go-getter in everything he sets out to accomplish.

Dan Gilbert, Forbes 400 businessman, founder of Quicken Loans, and owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers

Jimmy Walker is one of a kind, a true giver, selfless, full of energy, always looking to uplift other people and make the world a better place. I am proud to know him and grateful for all the incredible good he has done in the world.

Wyc Grousbeck, owner of the Boston Celtics

Jimmy is very easy to be around. He is like a beacon of energy. Hes grateful for life and always does his best to do the right thing. Hes a good family man. Im absolutely amazed at the people he meets and the relationships he builds. In Phoenix, he gives you his car, he gives you his home, and he gives you his office.

Reggie Jackson, Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, known as Mr. October

Every single year when I played for the Chicago Bulls, Jimmy always had a car waiting for me when I arrived in Phoenix to play the Suns, which was a generous act of kindness I always appreciated.

Michael Jordan, former NBA superstar

I call Jimmy the Big Contact.

Shaquille ONeal, four-time NBA champion and Hall of Fame center

Jimmy is a giving guy who cares about people. We need more Jimmy Walkers out there giving back.

Dick Vitale, college basketball analyst

Jimmy Walker is a good man. He is very passionate.

Carrie Underwood, country music superstar

There are a few people in the world like Jimmy Walker who wants to help every person hes ever met. But the secret is he expects nothing in return.

Harvey Mackay, bestselling author and professional speaker

Jimmy is a great networker. He calls you if you have a good game or if youre going through tough times. Thats a big part of his business success. He shows he cares and is thinking about you.

Steve Nash, head coach of the Brooklyn Nets and two-time MVP

Jimmy Walkers legacy is not only the thousands of individuals he has enabled and empowered. His true legacy is in the model of a purpose driven life, the secret of happiness. Relationships are the oxygen of success.

Marilyn Nelson, former CEO of Carlson

Jimmy is the master of relationships. He understands that personal relationships are more important in business than spreadsheets analysis. He has a unique combination of personal drive, energy, and kindness that works for him and allows him to help many others.

Doug Parker, American Airlines CEO

Jimmy has mastered the art of smothering you with kindness, an omnipresent friendly face. He is totally sincere. Hes simply the nicest guy in the world.
