Mr. Holmes passed away on Sunday, March 30, 2025. He was born January 13, 1951, in Cullman County, to William Thomas Holmes and Elizabeth Marie Burford Holmes.
James was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, family member and friend. He was employed by Golden Rod Hatchery, as a Maintenance Operator, prior to his retirement. He was preceded in death by his parents.
As a great man of God, he was a true Believer, who could rightly divide the Word and shared with anyone who would listen. In the later part of his life, his passion for studying the truths of the Word created an excitement and desire which was contagious! His favorite Bible Verse that he would quote was 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4. He would want his parting words to his family to be …. “Faith plus Nothing!”
