Mr. James D. Anglin, 78 of Solgohachia, Arkansas transitioned on Monday, January 19, 2026, at Brookridge Cove. James Douglas Anglin was born November 12, 1947, in Mount Pleasant, Texas to M. C.

He worked at Amarillo Gear until his retirement as a machinist.

James is proceeded in death by his parent, grandparents, Clarence and Mary B. Brewer Anglin; Hubert and Myrtle Freeman Milford; stepfather, John Smith; brother, Bobby Anglin; sister, Connie Hawkins.

He leaves to cherish his memories daughter, Misty (Mark) Welch of Harrison, Arkansas, niece; Kim (Henry) Earls of Solgohachia, Arkansas, nephews; Doug and Bobby Woods; great nieces, Mandy (Gary) Reynolds and Cassie Hawkins and his beloved Schnauzer Chrissy and a host of other relatives and friends.

He will be sadly missed by all but especially, his beloved Chrissy, who was forever by his side.

The family would like to thank the Brookridge Cove Rehab and Care Facility for the service. A Special Thank You to his care team Angel and Charlie.

A private service will be held at a later date.

If I could make time stand still;

and have just another minute

I would take the time to tell you the joy I felt,

when the world had you in it

But since time waits on no one, and my "ifs" will never come true

I'll close my eyes and fill my mind with thoughts of me and you

And as I dream of times that we so often shared,

It confirms the love you have for me, though I always knew you cared
