  1. James was the best person I know. He never saw the bad in anyone and would do anything for anyone. He was a hard working man and would always lend a helping hand. He took his last breath on earth at Faith Church, the place he loved and I would often say it was his second home. If he would have known it was his last day on earth, he still would have gone to church that day. He was a dedicated Christian and loved his friends and family with his whole heart. Our mom and our Aunt Christene were his best friends. He will be missed forever. This world was better with Jimmy in it and I have no doubt that heaven is better now with him there. I can’t wait to see my big brother again someday. Jimmy lives on in our hearts.

  7. Words can’t express the loss that our family is feeling. The world was a better place with Jimmy in it. Im sure he is talking with his Aunt Betty(my momma), our Granny Belk, Uncle Warden, Uncle Wayne and Uncle Stevie. He was definitely one of a kind. Doing for others and volunteering to help anyone and everyone. You will be truly missed. Love Cindy, Randy and kids.
