James Sr was a sweet man to everybody he met. Even though I only met him twice in my life he was so kind every time. 
Prayers for the family

Your last breath here, was your first breath in Heaven in the presence of Jesus. No more medicine, no more sickness, no more tubes, no more pain and no more suffering, you now have your new body and it is perfect. We will mourn for you, your voice and  your presence but let our hearts rejoice knowing that you are in your final resting place, living and breathing better than you ever have in your life here on earth and you’re rejoicing with the angels around the throne of our Heavenly Father. You have fought the good fight and you have won the race. Rest easy Big James, we will see you again one day. It has been an honor to have you as my uncle, I will miss you deeply. Love you always~ Your Niece~ Ruthie

Dear uncle James. I remember you taking us to ride a go cart, up a big hill. I had so much fun.  All the food and sodas we could drink.  I will miss you my sweet uncle James. 

Dear Gillispie Family Sorry Your Loss We are Praying For Y'all 🙏❤️

Dear Gillispie Family,
There are no words to express my sorrow for the loss of James. He was a kind, caring, godly man and it was a blessing to know him for the past 12 years. He was one of the strongest people that I have ever known with what he overcame.

I will be forever grateful for his kindness, love, support and companionship to my Mom. I thank your family for being so loving and welcoming to her. Our family was honored to have James as part of ours for those years. He will be greatly missed. Prayers for you all as you navigate through the days ahead. 


So happy I was able to spend time with James around Thanksgiving. I will cherish all the memories I have as a young man hunting with him and just sitting in the truck talking (probably me than him). I think back on all the funny memories of him making me feel a little guilty if I didn’t go coon hunting. Then wondering why I went after running around in the dark chasing dogs.
James will truly be missed.

Our hearts go out to your family and we are so very sorry for your loss.  We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.  We hope your wonderful memories will help you through this difficult time.
 
With love,
Maria, Stephen and Mikayla Harrington

I never met your father but I know he was a great man husband and dad because working with you over the years and seeing your devotion to your work and family that’s something you are taught as a child from your parents I know he will be missed by all.
