In his free time, James enjoyed reading his Bible multiple times a day and holding Bible Studies with his friends from Magnolia Central Baptist. He was a devout Christian and was secured in his salvation. He is remembered as a reserved man, yet humorous. The center of his world was his beloved dog, Oscar. James loved Oscar like a child, and often referred to him as his son. They were thick as thieves. Wherever one was, the other was never far behind.

A funeral service will follow immediately beginning at 11:00am. Burial will be held at Everett Baptist Church Cemetery upon conclusion of the service.
