Address: Monroe, NC

My thought & Prayers are with the family. I really miss J. T. he was alway with us when the family got together at Christmas. it never the same when we lose a love one in death especially around the holiday. He was a great brother -in- law.

On my first time at Grace, I was greeted by this tall, nice looking gentleman, with a big hug.  With a surprised looked on my face, I looked at my friend.  She smiled and said " this is J.T.".
He was a sweet gentle man ,and I am a better person for knowing him and Edith.
I will miss his hugs.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Take care.

J.T. was a big man who had an even larger heart.  As I look at pictures from the "big" moments in my life, J.T. and Sylvia were always there.  He always took time to make me and my family feel loved and special.  He will be missed.

Mr. Nance was the most magnificent man I have ever known. The most upstanding Christian man. In the years that I knew him he taught me a lot. He and Mrs Sylvia took care of me like their own and I will never forget it. Heaven has received another angel. Randy, Todd and Terri my deepest sympathy. Love forever. Greta Nance

We are so sorry to hear of your loss.  Please know that we are keeping you in our prayers and thoughts.  Greg and Lynne Lee

Our sincere condolences to the family of JT. I have only known him for a few years, as a Mason in our lodge, he was a living example of the principles of Masonry to me and his presence will be surly missed. I consider myself privileged to have sat in a lodge with WB. JT Nance.

I am so sorry to hear of JT's death. I grew up attending Union Grove Methodist Church with JT, Sylvia, Todd, & Randy. There are many fond memories. May God watch over all of you.

J.T. was a fine man, with a great attitude and strong spirit. I didn't know him well, but what a blessing to have known him! I'm so thankful he knew the Lord. The family will be in my prayers.
