Mr. James ‘J.D.’ Doris Wallace, age 92, of Calhoun, Georgia formerly of Alpharetta, passed away on Saturday, March 19, 2022. J.D. was born on January 14, 1930 in Cumming, Georgia, a son to the late Claude and Pearl Lou Wallace.
At age twenty, J.D. was drafted into the United States Army to proudly serve his country. Following his military service he received his electrical license and opened a construction business which he ran until retirement. If not working, J.D. could easily be found picking his five string banjo. With his natural ear for music he could easily pick-up a new instrument and within minutes begin playing a tune. J.D. loved bluegrass festivals, playing with his band, and playing with friends. He also enjoyed working on the farm, planting in his garden, and eating a good watermelon. J.D. met and later married the love of his life, Mrs. Runell Sizemore on November 19, 1954 and together they shared countless wonderful memories. J.D. was a wonderful husband, father, brother, and friend; he will certainly be missed by all who knew and loved him.
Along with his parents, J.D. is preceded in death by one brother, William Herschel Wallace and a son-in-law, Thomas V. Zorzi.
He is survived by his wife of sixty-seven years, Runell Wallace; two daughters, Doris Wallace of Marietta, Georgia, and Debbie Wallace of Calhoun, Georgia; and several nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends also survive.
