James Terry

James Lewis Terry made his transition from this earthly life on January 25, 2022. On February 29, 1948, he was born to Fannie Bell Terry and the late Lenton Terry Sr., in Kewanee, Mississippi. During the 1960's they relocated to Akron, Ohio, where James graduated from Akron Public Schools in 1966.

James enjoyed the simple things in life, lounging in the sun with a hat and a cold beer. James was always the life of the party at every family event, always striving to be the center of attention. You can guarantee to hear his signature phrase. “Do you know who I am? I’m JT”. James was a sensitive troublemaking bully who loved his mother and his family. To know James was to love him; he was devoted to his family. His family will greatly miss James.

Terry; brother, Odis Terry; sisters, Annie Noel, Ollie Jones, Alice Mae Terry, and LaLonnie Mae Terry.
