James Allen Young

July 20, 2018

James Allen Young, beloved husband of Alice Charline Young, loving father of Charline Denise Young, Rebekah Young Shivers (Brian), and Jamie Young Blackwell (Phillip), devoted grandfather of Bethany Shivers Ealum (Jeremy), Rachel Faith Wooten (Kelton), Sarah Elisabeth Blackwell, Aimie Katherine Blackwell and Phillip David Blackwell, and overjoyed great grandfather of Elliott Benjamin Ealum passed from this life and entered into the presence of his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on July 17, 2018.

James was born to Kelly and Ione Young on July 31, 1953, but most importantly, he was born again on January 21, 1973 while serving in the navy aboard the USS Saratoga.

During his life, James had the honor of serving the Lord in many different areas of ministry, but his greatest passion was telling people about salvation through Jesus Christ.

His favorite verse was Joshua 24:15 which reads in part, “…as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”, his favorite hymn was “Victory in Jesus” and his most cherished item in all of the world was his old well-worn King James Bible from which he would frequently read and quote. Before his home-going to heaven, James had read through this precious treasure 66 times.

Funeral services will be held Monday, July 23, 2018 at 11:00 AM at the Petty-Eastside Chapel Funeral Home with Bro. Donnie Harvey and Bro. Phillip Blackwell officiating.
