We mourn the loss of James McCoy, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and respected member of the Birmingham community. James was born on January 19, 1952, to James and Pat McCoy in Birmingham, Alabama. He passed away on October 3, 2024, surrounded by his loving family.

James served his country proudly as a member of the Army, retiring in 2020 after a long and distinguished career. He was a true patriot who dedicated his life to protecting and serving his fellow citizens.

Besides his military service, James was a devoted family man. He leaves behind his loving partner, Julia, three children - Jacqueline Jones, Belinda (spouse Fred), and Jerry - and eight adoring grandchildren. James loved nothing more than spending time with his family, whether it was going fishing with his children or playing with his grandchildren in the backyard.

James will be remembered for his kindness, strength, and unwavering dedication to his loved ones. His legacy will live on through the memories he created with those who knew and loved him.

Rest in peace, James McCoy. You will be deeply missed and forever in our hearts.
