James Franklin Bright III entered into God's Kingdom on September 22, 2023.

He was born on January 1, 1979, to Janalie and James Franklin Bright Jr.

He is survived by his mother Janalie; stepfather Anthony Newman; brother Joshua Bright; sister Jennifer (husband Cody) Montoya-Harris; and his five Audrianna, Genesis, Shay, Arya, and Calista.

James was loved by everyone he touched.  He was well-known for his unparalleled good nature and friendliness to everyone he met; there was not a single person he did not walk up to and start a conversation with.

James was always giving of himself, always asking everyone how he could serve the ones he loved. He gave to the less fortunate, despite not having much himself.  James could light up a room with his laughter and found joy in making others laugh as well.  He loved the Lord, always asking others "Can I pray for you?" as well as asking if they could pray for him.

James loved the outdoors, always asking when the next fishing trip was planned for.  Some of James' best times were spent camping, fishing, and get-togethers with his family. Although James has left this earth, we look forward to seeing him again in heaven.

You will be often in our thoughts,

Always in our prayers,

And forever in our hearts.
