The only thing bigger than his on-screen character was his heart.
Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart loved performing with & spending time with his family…and he made us all smile while doing it.

I’m heartbroken to hear of the sudden passing of my 30+ year friend, Jim Neidhart.

We met in the 80’s when Bill Watts booked ‘The Anvil’ in Mid South & Jim even coached Cowboy’s son Micah on how to shot put.

We lost a damn, good man. #RIPAnvil
🙏
