James A. Ashcraft (Jimmy), 55, on Monday, May 25, 2009. The illness he had been battling did take his life but could not take his joy of life, of laughter, or his heart and soul. His sense of humor will never be forgotten.

Beloved son of Colette Staicoff and the late James Ashcraft; grandson of the late Woodrow and Viola Godwin and the late Frankie and Bud Ashcraft; brother of Kevin Ashcraft and Diana Evans; dear uncle to Justin and Chrystal Ashcraft, LaRue and Kyle Evans, and Heather Mast (Tim); also survived by 1 great niece and 2 great nephews; his beloved dog, Buster. Dear cousin, nephew, and special friend to many.
