Reverend James ìJimmyî Eugene Justice, 74, of Hendersonville went home to be with his Lord and Savior Friday morning, June 12, 2015 at Pardee Memorial Hospital.

Reverend Justice retired from GE after 23 yearsí employment. He served as pastor of Fellowship Baptist Church in Hendersonville for 36 years and was the founder of The Jimmy Justice Family Gospel Singing Group.

ìJimmy (Daddy, Papaw) went to be with the Lord today. Our hearts are heavy but, as King David said, ëI cannot bring him back, but I can go to him.í Please pray for our family. Daddy was our hero. Praise God and the Lamb forever. Daddy preached his last sermon this past Wednesday from John, Chapter 16; he read this verse: ëAnd ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.í We love you Jimmy, Daddy, Papaw.î

    Our prayers for your family during this time of loss...though heaven's gain. May you find your comfort in the knowing the joy your loved one is experiencing and hearing the words, "Well Done" from our Savior - and knowing that you will join him in worship once again.
