James Fielder, 83, of Brookland, passed away Monday, January 21, 2019 at the NEA Baptist Hospital. He was born at Walcott, on August 30, 1935, to Morris and Ruby (Dacus) Fielder. James was a master machinist for over 40 years and built houses for a few years. He trained thoroughbred horses as a side job for a while, which was his true occupational passion. Out of love for his family, he gave up training horses since it took time away from his children. He was a devoted father, grandfather and husband. James was always thinking about and caring for others. He always put other people's well being ahead of himself. He was a good friend and was loved by all that knew him. He liked very much to joke with all around him.

Survivors include, daughter, Barbara (Jewell) Sellars; son, Rickey Fielder; one granddaughter, Melissa Sellars; one great-grandson, William Rickey Lee Hatfield.
