Aaron’s greatest joy in life was his family. His wife, Danielle, and his children, Kimber, Kendal, Bailee, Braelyn, and Jaxon, were his whole world. He loved them deeply and was happiest when he was with them. His family was at the center of everything he did.
Aaron also had a deep love for the outdoors. He loved to hunt and found peace and joy in those quiet moments in nature. He loved being on the water, where he could relax, enjoy the sunshine, and make memories with the people he loved. He also enjoyed taking long rides in his Bronco, simply enjoying the road, the freedom, and the time spent driving.
Aaron had a special place in his heart for ministry and children. He loved his MP Kids Ministry at Marcus Pointe Baptist Church in Pensacola. Serving and being part of that ministry brought him joy, purpose, and fulfillment, and he cared deeply for the children and families he served there.
Aaron had a heart that was bigger than life. He was the person who was always there when someone needed help and was often the first one to show up. Whether a friend or family member needed a helping hand, Aaron could be counted on. His generosity, loyalty, and willingness to help others touched many lives.
Aaron had a smile and laughter that could light up a room. His presence brought warmth, joy, and life wherever he went. He loved big, laughed big, and gave so much of himself to the people he cared about.

James Ray Ramey
September 1, 2026
James Ray Ramey, 66, of Atmore, AL, passed away on August 25, 2026. He was born on May 18, 1960, in Albuquerque, NM, where he spent most of his working life.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of James Ray Ramey, whose death came far too soon. After a lifetime of working hard and caring for those he loved, he had only recently begun retirement and a new chapter of life in Atmore, Alabama.
James was a true family man who showed his love through the things he did for others. He loved taking care of his family and found great joy in cooking, grilling, and smoking large meals for everyone to enjoy. Some of the best times were gathered around a meal he had prepared, with plenty of food and plenty of family.
He was, in every sense of the word, a man’s man. He believed that any job, whether big or small, personal or business, should be done right, with no shortcuts. If something needed to be fixed, built, or taken care of, he was determined to do it himself whenever possible. His work ethic, knowledge, and pride in a job well done were a defining part of who he was.
Before his years in the trades, he was known as “Jamo” during his days in music and entertainment. Jamo spent those years doing what he loved: lighting and sound. Hitting the road right after High School, traveling with the band “Off The Wall”, running lighting and sound. The guys from his “Off The Wall” days said he had a special talent for creating moods with the lighting system he built. He later continued working in sound and lighting with Quickbeam, which provided production services for big-name entertainers. Johnny Cash and Gloria Estefan were a couple of artists he had great respect for, as they were respectful to him. Those days were an important part of his life and reflected his love of music and the excitement of live entertainment.
When his daughter, Sarah, was born, his priorities shifted toward building a stable career and providing for this growing family. He became an electrical apprentice and entered the trades, beginning a career that would become a major part of his life and identity.
A highly skilled tradesman, James held multiple journeyman licenses and was deeply respected for his work as a boiler technician in New Mexico. Boilers were his true passion. He often said that he had a good understanding of boiler systems and that the short list of things he didn’t do was refrigeration. His knowledge, experience, and reputation earned him the respect of those who worked alongside him and those who relied on his expertise.
Throughout his career, James received many opportunities and offers for lucrative positions which he tried for brief periods. Yet, he chose to return to work for contractors serving schools because he believed the children deserved the very best care and expertise. He took great pride in knowing that his work helped keep the schools and their boiler systems safe and functioning properly for the children who depended on them. To him, the children were worthy of his expertise, and that belief mattered more than pursuing a higher salary. It reflected the kind of man he was, someone who valued doing meaningful work and using his knowledge to take care of others.
Retirement was meant to be a time for James to slow down and enjoy the life he had worked so hard to build. He and his beloved wife, Michelle, moved to Atmore, Alabama, seeking a slower and quieter life.
There, he looked forward to spending his time doing the things he loved most: attending drag races and concerts, camping and fishing. Even in retirement, he was never one to sit still for long; there was always something to repair, improve, or make better.
James was a proud and loving Grandpa to all seven of his grandchildren. He loved his grandbabies dearly and took great pride in each of them. The time he spent with them and the memories they shared will remain a treasured part of the legacy he leaves behind.
He was preceded in death by his beloved Mother, Wanda Cannon, and his respected father-in-law, Wynn Schneider.
James leaves behind his loving wife, Michelle Ramey; six children, Sarah, Jessica, Janna, Jared, Daniel and Drysta; seven cherished grandchildren, Sweetye, Kenny, Maxwell, Kashmir, K’zahrius, Braxton, J’Saahni; his beloved Pops, Bobby Cannon; his loved mother-in-law and gardening buddy, Derlie Schneider; and many other family members, friends, and colleagues whose lives were touched by his kindness, knowledge, strength, and unwavering devotion.
Although his retirement time was far too short, the life he lived was full of purpose. He will be remembered for the meals he prepared, the problems he could solve, the work he took pride in, the knowledge he shared, and, most importantly, the many ways he took care of the people he loved.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

James ‘Jimmy’ Warren Weaver
August 21, 2026
James “Jimmy” Warren Weaver passed away on August 20, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of memories and a family who loved him dearly.
Jimmy was born on July 7, 1940. He proudly served his country for four years in the United States Army, an experience that reflected the strength, dedication, and loyalty he carried with him throughout his life. He later worked for many years as a civil servant at NAS Pensacola.
Anyone who knew Jimmy knew how much he enjoyed the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. He was a member of the McKinnonville Hunting Club, where he spent many memorable days doing what he loved and enjoying the company of friends. Some of the best memories of Jimmy are the simple ones—the stories told, the laughter shared, time spent outdoors, and being surrounded by the people who meant the most to him.
Jimmy shared that love of the outdoors with his three sons, Bruce, David, and Russell, raising them to appreciate the same things that brought him so much happiness. Through countless days spent hunting, fishing, traveling, and simply enjoying the outdoors together, he passed down more than traditions—he passed down a way of life. His three sons will proudly carry on their father’s legacy and his love for the outdoors, sharing those same traditions, stories, and memories with the generations that follow.
More than anything, Jimmy was a family man. He loved his family deeply, and the relationships he built throughout his life were among his greatest treasures. He was a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend whose presence will be greatly missed.
Jimmy was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Elizabeth Weaver; his parents, John and Eunice Weaver; his brother, Donald Weaver; and his sister, Jane Moodhard.
He leaves behind his children, Bruce and his wife, Julie; David and his wife, Pam; and Russell and his wife, Mindy; his grandchildren, Jonathan and his wife, Heather; Weston and his wife, Heather; Amanda and her husband, Dan; and Briar; and his treasured great-grandchildren, Hadley, Abby, Matthew, Elizabeth, and Lucas.
Although saying goodbye is never easy, Jimmy’s family finds comfort in knowing that a life is measured not only in years, but in the memories made, the love given, and the people whose lives were touched along the way. His stories will continue to be told, his memory will live on around campfires, on hunting trips, beside fishing holes, and at family gatherings. The lessons he taught and the love he gave will remain with his family always.
And after a life well lived, there is comfort in imagining Jimmy making that final journey home, with his beloved Elizabeth waiting for him at Heaven’s gates. After time apart, husband and wife are together once again—reunited in a place where there are no more goodbyes.
Jimmy will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever carried in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
Funeral services will be held at 10:30a.m., on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, at Faith Chapel Funeral Home North with Pastor Jerry Fleming officiating.
The family will receive friends at 9:30 prior to services.
Burial will follow in Jordan Cemetery.
