After graduating High School, James had a long 20-year valiant career in the US Navy, where he participated in the Vietnam War. Following his military retirement, he wore many hats from electronics, maintenance worker, farmer, cattle rancher, teacher, but his proudest was service at his church and singing in the Church choir.

I didn't know JC very long, about a year and a half. He is my daughters Father-in-law. We met one night at a catfish house and I won't forget the prayer he said as he stood in the middle of this big room. I admired him from that moment on.
We became good friends over the next year or so and spoke frequently and prayed for each other every day.
This man was our friend and I know he is with our Lord and Savior now. God Bless his family and friends and may his memory last our lifetime.

It was am honor to have known JC. Sue and he had dinner at our home and I remember his sly little smile when he was telling a joke. The road rose to meet him and he stood tall...quite a loving person.

I'm so very sad for your loss of Bro. JC. He was always a kind and caring man. No doubt he is singing with the Angels to Jesus! Love you all.

Daddy, the best thing that I will remember is about a week ago, you told me you were proud of me. That’s all I needed from you. I’ve always tried my best to make you proud and I accomplished that task. You find Chuck there in heaven and he’ll show you the ropes!! And sing loud!!!!You were the best daddy a girl could ask for! I love you and miss you terribly already!
