James Leroy Hall, Jr., 74, a resident of Parkin, departed this life, Monday, March 2, 2026, in Memphis, Tennessee. He was born on November 24, 951, in Elkton, Maryland, the son of James Leroy, Sr and Elsie Irene McDonald Hall. He married Miss Vicky Lynn Hogland on April 13, 2007.

James dedicated a decade of his life to the United States Army, serving from 1973 until 1983.

After retiring from trucking, James continued his service to the community by working as a Code Enforcement officer in Parkin, a position he held until recently. Outside of work, James enjoyed working on small engines and tinkering during his spare time. He was known for his easy-going nature, warm smile, and ability to make friends wherever he went. Above all, James was a devoted husband who cherished time spent with his family and friends, creating lasting memories with those he loved.
