On Thursday, January 20, 2022, James D Roper, loving husband, father of four children, passed away at the age of 74.

Born in Memphis, TN on June 15th, 1947, he was polite enough to wait until after the Sunday evening service to come into the world. He was the only child of Franklin Brentwood and Dorothy M. Dixon Roper. Being the only child, to say that he was doted on would be a supreme understatement. By his own admission, he didn't have to walk until he was almost two because someone was always there to carry him.
