James B. Sansom

Bunny was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather, and a loyal friend who never met a stranger. He was a successful businessman, founding in 1987 the Sansom Equipment Company, still in operation today. He was a loyal member of the Misfits Sunday School Class at Green Valley Baptist Church, Hoover.

Bunny was predeceased by his parents, Thomas Sansom and Mary Claire Brady Sansom, and one sister, Eleanor Sansom Tillery. Survivors include Bunny's wife, Judy Carnathan Sansom; one son, Jason Harlan Wyers (Mary); two daughters, Sonya Sansom Wilson (Jeff) and Whitney Wyers Klinefelter (Chris); grandkids, Harlan Wyers, Sarah Kate Wyers, Mary Claire Wilson, Jackson Wilson, Christopher Klinefelter Jr., Anna Klinefelter, and Audrey Klinefelter; one sister, Juanita Sansom Sullivan (Tommy); and two brothers, Thomas Sansom Jr. (Helen) and Michael Sansom.

The family would like to thank Dr. Mark Bridges and staff of Hematology & Oncology Associates of Alabama for their compassionate care for our husband and father.
