OBITUARY
 In
Memory of
James Coy Ethridge
December 11, 1944 - April 20, 2017
ETHRIDGE, James Coy was born on December 11, 1944 in Sulphur Springs,
Texas and passed away on April 20, 2017 in Carrollton, Texas. He was the
son of Margaret Ruth Ethridge and Leroy Cameron Ethridge, with one older
brother Dwayne Ethridge. He graduated R.L. Turner in 1963 where he
played football. In 1968 he graduated from Texas Tech with a BA in
History and minor in Greek. From there he worked as a campus minister
for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He was an avid
tennis player, film lover (sentimental to films ranging from American
Graffiti to The Searchers) and with his greatest joy in helping others.
He lived a life of service with love and compassion. It's hard to know
if there ever was a week where he wasn't actively involved in a church
or church group. His knowledge of the Bible was incredible from
understanding version upon version to being able to read it in Greek and
Hebrew. In a world clamoring for achievements based on fame, his
greatest achievements were as a Dad and touching the lives of countless
others. His career took him from Christian book publishing in Florida to
office management in DFW. He recently finally retired from JC Penny. He
is survived by his only child Blake Ethridge, brother Dwayne Ethridge, 2
nieces and 1 nephew. A celebration of his life for family and friends
will be held at 11:00 am at the Webb Chapel Church of Christ on April
28th. In lieu of flowers, contributions to his memory can be made to the
Webb Chapel Church of Christ (13425 Webb Chapel Rd, Farmers Branch, TX
75234; Phone: (972) 241-3293). |
