We are sad to announce that, on May 4, 2026 we had to say goodbye to James Edward Bethea (Chadbourn, North Carolina). Family and friends can send flowers and/or light a candle as a loving gesture for their loved one. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of James Edward Bethea to show support.
Though his name may fade from the lips of time, the imprint James leaves upon the hearts of his loved ones remains eternally vivid — a testament to the depth of his spirit and the richness of his legacy.
