James Borders

Family-Placed Death Notice

BORDERS, James JAMES RONALD BORDERS In Loving Memory James Ronald Borders (63) of 6498 Deep Valley Court, Flowery Branch, Georgia was welcomed home by his Heavenly Father on August 9, 2010. His final days were spent surrounded by his loving family and his many friends he had touched in some small way throughout his earthly life. Jim's life would seem too short to many but those who had been "touched" by him understood the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. His gentle smile, quick wit, sense of humor as well as his love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, brought much joy to his family and friends. Jim gave us all so much courage and hope and often reminded us in his words, actions and deeds to look forward to our heavenly home where peace will reign forever. Jim is survived by his loving wife, Deidre Lynn Borders and his four children, Kimberly Vaughan of Mineola, Texas; Jonathan Borders of Savannah, Georgia; Melissa Cook of Gainesville, Georgia; and Mathew Borders of Flowery Branch, Georgia. He is also survived by his two sisters, Barbara Jean Hughes of Dacula, Georgia and Carol Worsham of Flowery Branch, Georgia as well as his five grandchildren of which he was very proud.
