James Grantham Obituary
Jim Grantham, age 82, of Blairsville, Georgia transcended from this world into the arms of Jesus on May 27, 2025. Jim was born on December, 30 1942 to the late Joel Henry and Mary Chandler Winchester Grantham in Arcadia, Florida.

Jim was a graduate of Palm Beach High School class of '60 and maintained lasting friendships with fellow students. He worked and planned diligently to conduct many reunions together with them. He served his country with courage and honor in the United States Navy. He worked diligently for 32 years with the Orlando Florida Utilities Commission as a manager of both overhead and underground utility line maintenance. He was the man that everyone could call with any electrical need. He could cut and drop a tree for anyone that needed removal with expertise. His sense of humor was manifested in his creative story telling. Jim was devoted to all his beloved family. His Christian faith found service to his Lord and beloved church in Deacon ministry.
