James Revells Obituary
Born May 30,1936 in Howellsville, Warren County, Virginia, the son of Raymond Allen and Christine (Oliver) Revells, he was a lifelong Warren Country resident.
James is survived by his wife of 63 years, Sandra (Gill) Revells; his beloved daughter, Lorraine Megeath and husband Arthur of Front Royal; three grandchildren, Justin Toothman and wife Anna McDonald of Falls Church, Lindsey Toothman and husband Aaron Heishman of Las Vegas, NV, and Anya Megeath and partner Stevie Nowell of Front Royal.
He is preceded in death by his siblings, Ray Thomas Revells and Janet (Revells) Love; and a grandson, Evan Megeath, all of Front Royal.
James was a jack of all trades. An MP in the US Army and Virginia State Trooper, he spent most of his life as a lumberjack and painter. He had a deep love of Bluegrass music and impressed many with his banjo picking. An avid outdoorsman from growing up on the Shenandoah River, he shared his love of fishing with his family. He was a fixture of the flea market and the Hardees/McDonalds morning breakfast crew. Always curious and resourceful, he never found something he wouldn't try to fix.
A graveside service will be held in Prospect Hill Cemetery on Thursday, October 2 at 2 PM.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you please consider sending a donation to Blue Ridge Hospice in thanks for their support. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.maddoxfuneralhome
