October 8, 1954 - May 24, 2019
James F. Freeman, age 64 and a resident of Franklinton, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday May 24, 2019 surrounded by his family after a short, courageous battle with cancer. A pillar of the community, he retired recently from the Town of Franklinton after 41 years of service. He dedicated most of his spare time to Franklinton Dixie Baseball, not only by taking great care of the fields and grounds, but also by cheering on the children. Devoted to his family, he spent every minute possible with his beloved wife, children and grandchildren. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and watching his grandsons play the sports they loved.

Hermon; Son: James Freeman, Jr. and his family, wife Lisa and sons Mason and Dalton; Siblings: William, Terry, Carolyn, Michelle, Lynn, Annette and their families; Special Friends: Gary Dufrene and Ike New
He was preceded in death by his parents T.J. Freeman and Louise Brooks Freeman, brothers T.J. and Kevin “Spike” and sisters Cathy, Julianne and Pearl.
