James “Keller” Hampton Sr., 81, died Oct. 12, 2014.
Mr. Hampton was a retired U.S. Army veteran who served in Vietnam. He was a hard worker, amazing father and loving husband.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Marlin (Jewell) Hampton; children, Marsha Copeland (Randy), James Hampton Jr. (Cheryl Schoenmaker), Gina Dukes (Tim) and Kenneth Hampton (Meryem); grandchildren, Erin Dyer Witharane (Talath), Matthew Hampton, K. Andrew Hampton (Nita), Katie Copeland, Molly Copeland, Ryan Dukes (Marissa Luckey), Michaela Dukes, Allie Hampton (Logan Winegar) and Lexi Hampton; great-grandchildren, Evyn Witharane, Harrison Witharane, Kaeja Hampton-Winegar and Jessie Hampton; three sisters; two brothers; and many nieces and nephews.
He enjoyed life and had too many friends to begin counting. Always a generous man, his body was donated to science per his wishes.
A memorial will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, send donations to hospice, which was a real blessing to Mr. Hampton and his family during a difficult time.
