James Elder Jr Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from May 15 to May 16, 2023.
James Stuart Elder Jr. passed away on March 29, 2023 after a brief illness. He was born in Pensacola Florida on May 21, 1951 and raised in St Petersburg Florida. He attended Boca Ciega High School and graduated from Berry College, Rome GA, with a Religion major.

Stuart had a larger than life personality and a beautiful singing voice. He played folk guitar and enjoyed that genre of music very much. His favorite song to sing was "Long Black Veil" and no one could sing it quite like him. He started a very successful overseas insurance business which he ran for over 30 years in Atlanta and retired to the Ft Myers Florida area several years ago. He was able to travel the world due to his business and often took his three daughters with him.

His death was preceded by his parents, Mae Blanche Sensing Elder and James S Elder. He is survived by his brother Craig and three daughters, Kasi Elisabeth, Aimee Melissa and Darcie Priscilla, as well as four grand children, Felix, Peter, Perry, and Pearl.
