James Black Obituary
Mr. James Edward Black, 91, entered into rest on Thursday December 4, 2025 at his home surrounded by his family.
He is preceded in death by his loving wife of 71 years, Doris Black; parents, Annie Mae and Robert T. Black Sr.; brothers, Robert T. Black Jr., Lewis Delma Black, and Marion Eugene Black.
He is survived by his sister Annie Lou Ashley; numerous nieces and nephews; and special neighbor, who he called “the son he never had”, Gerald (Nicole) Tice, and his two daughters.
James served honorably in the United State’s Army for four years, and retired as a painter. He enjoyed golfing and fishing with friends, and loved to spend his time caring for his garden. More than anything else he loved his family. He will be remembered for being a loving husband, uncle, and friend.
A Funeral Service, celebrating his life, will be held at Jackson Memorial Funeral Home on Tuesday December 9, 2025 at 2 P.M. with Pastor Eddie Hardee to officiate. The burial will follow immediately at Sunset Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.
Jackson Memorial Funeral Home & Crematory of Graniteville has been entrusted with these arrangements.
