James is preceded in passing by his sister-in- law Brandi Wooten. Here to carry on his memory is his adoring wife of 30 years, Stacy Murphy; their children Josh, Amanda, Joey, Aaron, Natalie, Layla, Brandon; grandchild Colton; parents Brenda and Jefferson; siblings Jeff, Jr., Michael, Amy, and Travis; mother-in-law Debbie Wooten; and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
James worked diligently as a truck driver for Louisville Cartage for 10 years. He was a very hard worker who held his family close in his heart. His favorite hobbies included listening to country music, cheering on the Kentucky Wildcats, the 49ers, and the Atlanta Braves. He also enjoyed working whether it be his job or tending to his yard. But above all his main priority in life was his family.
