James Hannah was born April 7, 1940, in Unadilla, Georgia to the late Mr. Vester Oliver Hannah Sr. and Mrs. Janie Pearl Hannah. He was a man whose warmth and generosity left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. With a knack for fixing things, he was always ready to lend a hand, whether it was repairing a broken item or offering practical advice. His love for classic cars and trucks was evident in his meticulous collection and his passion for model cars, a hobby that reflected his attention to detail and appreciation for craftsmanship. James cherished the outdoors, often spending time in nature, and found joy in the simple pleasures of life, like watching western TV shows or enjoying a hearty meal. His greatest gift, however, was his willingness to
help others, always putting the needs of those around him first. James' legacy is one of kindness, dedication, and a love for life's little treasures.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his son, Johnny Hannah; brothers, Vester Hannah Jr, Edward Hannah; sisters, Eloise Hannah Sommerville, and Margie Hannah Grilliot
Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 30 years, Brenda Hannah; son, Kevin (Debbie) Sullivan; daughter, Amy Jones; sisters, Mary Lee Hannah Greer, Joyce Hannah Perrine; grandchildren, Bristol Stephens, Brooklyn Sloan, Brittany Anderson, Brandon Jones; Great grandchildren, Barazlyn Stephens, Wyatt Stephens, Payton Heard, Hayden Heard; many nieces and nephews.
In Lieu of flowers please make a donation in Mr. Hannah's Name to Chamlee Baptist Church or a charity of your choice.
