James was a devoted husband and adored his wife, “Loisie”, he was a loving father and savored life, he was passionate about music playing his favorite harmonica, singing and yodeling at the drop of hat, bringing joy to everyone who was blessed at the moment with his beautiful voice. He loved all his family and never met a stranger (everyone was his girlfriend or a brother.) He always had a smile and a joke to share. People were drawn to James like flies to honey and he never missed the opportunity to share his love for Jesus and the Lord our God with any and every one he met.

Pallbearers were James “Jim” Walker III, Tyler Walker, Andrew Walker, Zachary Randall, Wayne Hanks, and Damon Neatherland. Honorary pallbearers were Dylan Walker and Michael Neatherland.
