James Hilton Little, 69, of Roanoke Rapids, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on November 29, 2022. He was the son of Rachel Davis Little and Atlas Hilton Little.

He was preceded in death by brother Jerry Little and father Atlas Hilton Little, and is survived by his loving wife Kathy Little, son Samuel Little (Jennifer) daughter Mindy Little (Marcus) as well as his mother Rachel Davis Little, sister Linda Benthall (Gene) brother Joseph Little (Margaret Ann) and very beloved Aunt Rachel A. Little. 

He is also survived by two very special granddaughters Madelyn Little and Aubrey Little.

James worked for forty-six years at what is now West Fraser Lumber Company, retiring in May of 2018. 

He had a passion for working tirelessly on his farm, tending to his garden and land. He loved all wildlife and military aircraft, and one of his greatest joys was watching military jets and helicopters fly over his farm. 

Those who knew him can attest that he was a unique personality by all standards.

Arrangements will be handled by Askew Funeral Service of Jackson, and a graveside service will be held Sunday, December 4th, at 2:00 in the afternoon at Seaboard Cemetery, Seaboard NC.

The family has requested that anyone attending his service to please dress casually, as he was not a suit and tie kind of guy. 

The family would also like to thank the staff of Signature Care of Roanoke Rapids for the care provided during his stay at their facility.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your local animal shelter or charity of your choice.
