James was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on April 8, 1972 and continued serving Jehovah faithfully and zealously, many of those years as a shepherd in the congregation, until his untimely death. James was a beautiful person with a beautiful smile and loved to fish and travel and spend time with his family.

James will also be remembered for his perseverance, courage and faithfulness. He had a long life of serving Jehovah and helping others to do so but also has truly helped many who needed aide in various ways, from shepherding calls to hospital visits to dropping by whatever is needed, until he no longer could. His family anxiously awaits their reunion as Jehovah’s promises are fulfilled.
