James Willard Obituary
The family of James Calvin Willard, 94, rejoice in knowing that he left his earthly body and came face to face with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on the evening of August 17, 2025.
Calvin leaves behind 2 daughters, a son-in-law, 2 granddaughters and their husbands, 3 great granddaughters, numerous nieces and nephews and a brother-in-law.
Calvin's spiritual life has been a guiding force in his daily life. He truly wanted to be like Jesus. He didn't only preach the mind of Christ, but was an example of God's love. Calvin's quiet and gentle demeanor was a blessing to all those who met him. He will be greatly missed by many.
For the Lord taketh pleasure in His people: He will beautify the meek with salvation. - Psalm 29:19
