James Hallmark Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 13, 2022.
James Nathan Hallmark passed away on Tuesday, August 9, 2022. Nathan was born in Ft. Ord, California in 1956, the son of Dale E. and Winnie Rae Hallmark. He grew up in Decatur, Alabama on Chapel Hill Road and graduated from Austin High School in 1974. He was a veteran of the U.S. Navy. He owned a successful computer business in Houston, Texas until his passing. Nathan died from complications following heart surgery. Nathan is survived by his wife Debbie and daughter Sydney, who were both so dear to his heart. He is also survived by his brothers Stuart, Dale, Mark, Chance and Terry, along with many nieces and nephews. He was a great husband, father, brother, uncle and friend: true-hearted, caring, funny, wise and always generous with his love. He was a fantastic cook and loved to play golf. We will miss you so, Nathan, and count the days until we meet again in heaven. A memorial service for Nathan will be announced in the coming days.

I grew up in Decatur. My older sister Leslie and I went to church & school with Nathan (as he was called then) & his brother Mark. I was in the same grade as Mark but I was a year younger than Mark. My sister Leslie was one grade ahead of us. Nathan was always so kind to me. I'd had an accident and knocked my front teeth loose and we had to wait 2 years til they were healed stable to get braces to fix them. So for Jr high I had these terrible buck teeth, coke bottle glasses & a terrible short haircut. I was made fun of by so many people- kids are cruel at that age. But in youth group at Chapel Hill Methodist Nathan never laughed at me, he spoke to me & was just plain nice. His not teasing me meant the rest of the youth didn't tease me. Everybody looked up to him. I was just a silly giggling preteen/teen girl (as you are at that age) who was in awe of him. We moved in 74 and I never saw him again any of the times we were back in Decatur. His kindness to me made such an impact on me for the rest of my life. I'd even planned to name my 2nd child after him but she was a girl. He was Jesus's example even as a teenage boy. I was blessed to know him. My prayers are with his family.
