James Bond (Buddy) went to be with his Heavenly Father at 4:35 am on Friday, August 6. He was surrounded by his family. He went home to be with the Lord peacefully. We will miss his sweet, humble nature and servant's heart. We will announce funeral arrangements soon. Our family greatly appreciates the love and support that all of you have given us. Thank you for your continued prayers.
Oh Marion... I'm sure nothing could really prepare you for the heartache you feel today. So just remember there are lots and lots of prayers going up for your comfort. I'm actually smiling with the thought of the reunion he's having right now with those already gone AND with his Lord.

Praying for you and your family! James will be missed by many. But I bet my dad is rushing to greet him in heaven.

So sorry to hear of the passing of such a sweet servant. We will never forget the impact he had on our church during a difficult time. We are so thankful that the Lord lead him to help us. What a wonderful full life he had! We are praying for your whole family as we know you miss him already. We hope you will be surrounded by the love of all of your friends and loved ones.
