James "Jim" Southgate Combs age 74 went to be with the Lord on Thursday, September the 4th. Jim was a kind person who would give anyone the shirt off of his back. It could be said that he showed his love by giving others a hard time. Jim was member of Bethel Church.

Jim is preceded in death by his father Hobert Combs, brothers Bill and Tim Combs and many other loving family members.

Jim is survived by his mother Arlean Combs, sisters Shannon (Gary) Johnson, Barbara Combs, Joan (Terry) Zion, and several nieces, nephews, cousin, and friends.

In keeping with Jim's wishes his body will be cremated, therefore, a graveside memorial service will be held Wednesday, September 10, 2025 at 4 PM at Bethel Cemetery, Sugar Run, Jonesville, VA with Pastor Steve Neff officiating. It is requested that family and friends meet at the cemetery by 3;45 pm for the service.

James "Jim" Southgate Combs and his family are in the care of Powell Valley Funeral Home

I've known Jim my entire life. He could make me laugh until I cried or he could make me so mad in just a split second that I could spit purple. I loved the old crazy thing and I sure will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you. I love you all.
