Jimmy was raised in Milwaukee, where he graduated from St. Thomas More High School. He went on to bravely serve in the Milwaukee Police Department for over 26 years, retiring in 2015.

Jimmy valued family above all else, citing his late brother and firefighter David Borkowski as his hero Jim’s dedication to helping others did not stop in his lifetime; he chose to be an organ donor upon death, further aiding those in need.

Jimmy loved all things outdoors, spending quality time in the family cabin in Lake Tomahawk as well as fishing and hunting. Jimmy also loved spending time with his significant other Donna and her daughter Aspen.
