Herman-Pink-James

Herman Pink James was born on May 7, 1932 to Daisy Johnson and Jim James in Murfreesboro, TN.

He moved to Nashville, Tennessee and attended Murfreesboro High School in Murfreesboro, TN. He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He was employed as a Truck Driver with Roadway Express, Inc. for 32 years.

Herman was a long-life active Member of New Life Seventh-Day Adventist Church where he served in the roles of Assistant Treasurer and a Deacon for over 25 years. His love for, and dedication to, the Lord was evident in the way he lived everyday life.

Herman met and was united in holy matrimony to Nancy Ruth Luss for 25 years. He was a dedicated family man and took pride in taking care of their home. He found joy in yard work and could be found in his latter years sitting outside with family and friends enjoying warm summer days, sipping tea, telling stories and jokes; especially with his Best Friend/Brother-in-Law Frank McFarland. He loved watching endless reruns of Gunsmoke and the Rifleman while eating his favorite snack Skinny-Pop Popcorn.

Herman James’ passing is a deep and personal loss to his Family and Friends. He was a pillar in his community and was known to help others in any way that he could be of assistance.

Herman was preceded in death by son, Ishmeal James, daughters, Brenda and Robin James (twins), granddaughter, Saundrianna E’lise Cornell, one brother, William James, and devoted brother-in-law/dear friend Robert Frank McFarland.

Left with many fond memories to cherish, a loving and devoted wife, Nancy Ruth James. Sons, Anthony (Tony) James, Dwight James, Christopher (Chris) James, and Victor James, and loving step-daughter, Darlene McFarland-Jackson, and step-son Donnie (Sheila) McFarland, Sr., and Niece, Lolita (Ervin) Nelson. Ten beloved Grandchildren, and wonderful great-grandchildren, sister-in-law Deborah (Kenneth) McCauley, brother-in-law Thomas Floyd McFarland, devoted sister-friend, Chlodis Simpson, loving god-daughter Gay Simpkins, and many, many Friends.
