A resident of Wayne and Pierce Counties for his entire life, James was born on July 3, 1966 in Jesup.  He graduated from Wayne County High School and was a farmer, mechanic and truck driver.  James loved hunting, fishing and working on things.  He always liked to have a good time and enjoyed joking around and picking on his friends and family.  James was a member of the Church of God faith and loved spending time with his friends and family as much as he loved farming.  His father, Joseph Thompson, preceded him in death.
