James Rodney Pearson, 30, passed away at home Sunday, March 3, 2019. He was born June 9, 1988, in Wilmington, the son of the late Rodney Thomas Pearson and Phyllis Myers Kimrey.
James loved music and anything to do with marine science and salt water aquariums. He adored his two-year-old son, Ethan James. James had a smile that would light up the room, and a personality to match. He loved his family very much, and we will miss him forever. He had many friends who loved him dearly.
James is survived by his mother, Phyllis Myers Kimrey, and stepfather, Herbert Andrew Kimrey, of Harrells; sister, Elisabeth, and her husband, Greg Garner, of Holly Ridge; and his grandparents, who he treasured, Rodney and Rebecca Pearson of Sims.
Visitation for James and his family will be held from noon to 2 p.m., Monday, March 11, at Andrews Valley Chapel on S. College Road, Wilmington. A memorial service will follow visitation at 2 p.m. Graveside services will follow at Greenlawn Memorial Park, Shipyard Blvd., Wilmington.
James’ family would like to sincerely thank everyone for their love, support and words of encouragement during this most difficult. We know that James is safely in the arms of his Savior, and we are thankful and blessed for the time we had with him. The sound of his laughter will never fade.
