Obituary For James W. "Jay" Loadholt

Fairfax, SC

~WELL DONE~

"I fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge shall give me..." II Timothy 4:7 - 8

James Willie Loadholt left this life to return to the open arms of his Creator, on Tuesday morning, September 15, 2020.

"Jay" as he was affectionately called was born on September 15, 1935, to the late Queenie Harvin and John Ayers in Hampton County, South Carolina. He was the only child born to Ms. Queenie Harvin.

He was educated in the public -school system of Hampton County.

At any early age of seventeen, Jay relocated to New York City to be with his mother, and he began his work ethics, where he was employed with the New York City Transit where he later retired. He also worked at Axially Policeman 79th Percent in Brooklyn, New York. While living in New York Jay met many friends whom he loved and cared for dearly.

After living in New York for many years, "Jay" returned to Fairfax, South Carolina with his family and reunited with his family church "Greater Cherry Grove Christian Church Discipline Of Christ."

While living in Fairfax, Jay decided to return to work. He worked as a South Carolina Constable, and he was also a Bailiff in Allendale County Court System, including: The Allendale County Magistrate Office. Jay made for certain he kept the order, and looked after prisoners, etc.

Jay was a soft-spoken, hardworking and gentle man who cherished his family and friends. He was a strong man who did not let his illness defined him, in order to survive his life challenges. Jay continued to get up and down doing what he needed to do for himself. No matter what he was going through, he would stay positive, by saying, "Can I Say One Thing."

His parents, grandparents, son: Fredrick Crosby; daughter: Cheryl Greene, Grand-daughter; April Crosby, brother: Thomas Ayers, and Niece: Antoinette Dunaway, will greet him as he enters his new life.
