Not sure what to say?

We were schoolmates, played baseball on some of the same teams. I would consider James a friend, and even though we didn't get to see one another very often. James always be missed. And I would like to send my deepest condolences.

We will miss you with all our hearts ♥

Deepest condolences to Hoolie's family. Played football at Byrd with him. Great player and a great person. He was so modest. It was an honor to know and play with him.

My condolences to the entire Childress family. Hoodie was larger than life and I enjoyed our many talks when I was at Byrd. He leaves a wonderful legacy as a great athlete and an even more wonderful man.

Condolences to the entire Childress family for the lost of Hoolie. My God comfort each of you and see you through this a time. Rest now James in Jesus’s arms forever.

A good man has gone to his reward, a faithful and true servant of God. You will be missed but never forgotten. Rest In Peace Brother Hoolie.

A great man and friend that will be missed by all. Play some 1 on 1 with Dad up there, God Bless

Coworker, team mate and friend. You will be missed.

Lord I Pray for strength and endurance for the Childress family and friends. I will miss "BIG HOOLIE"
