James Brown

Mr. James Brown, age 67, departed this life on Friday, July 5, 2024, at his residence surrounded by his family in Elberton, Georgia.

Mr. James Brown was born on October 23, 1957, to the late Albert (Buster) Brown and Annie Laura (Heard) Brown in Elbert County, Georgia. James quietly passed away on Friday, July 5, 2024, at his residence.
James joined the Rose Hill Baptist Church at an early age in life. James attended Elbert County High School and was a member of the class of 1976. After school James knew that the bible said in 2nd Thessalonians 3:10; If a man will not work, he shall not eat; therefore, James began to work, and this led him to work in the granite industry until his retirement. James met and married the love of his life Linda Susan Burton, who he loved and cherished dearly until her passing.

James was a fun and loving man who always had a smile on his face. James was one who thought of others before thinking of himself and would do anything to help anybody.
