A native of Hertford County, Jamie spent most of his life in Northampton County. He loved the outdoors, especially hunting, fishing, and camping along the Chowan River. Jamie also enjoyed relaxing while watching NASCAR races and NFL football. Above all, he treasured time spent with his family, particularly his grandchildren, who were truly the light of his life.
In accordance with his wishes, there will be no memorial service.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to his caregivers at Signature Healthcare of Roanoke Rapids, Rich Square Nursing and Rehab, Gentiva Hospice of Roanoke Rapids, Northampton County Department of Social Services, and to all former home health caregivers who provided care and compassion over the past 30 years.
In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests that memorial donations be made in Jamie's honor to a long-term care facility or a Department of Social Services Angel Tree program of your choosing.
