James Thomas "J.T." Parson

James Thomas "J.T." Parson, age 77, of Alto, Georgia went home to be with the Lord on Friday, June 6, 2025.

Mr. Parson was born on August 26, 1947 in Jackson County, Georgia to the late Tilden and Ruth Whitfield Parson. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his daughter, Tammy Elaine Parson; brother, Horace Parson. He retired from James Electric Company with 43 years of service, where he served as a Master Electric Motor Technician. He was a member of Silver Shoals Baptist Church and J.T. was the kind of man who would do anything for anyone, always ready to lend a hand. Above all, JT was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and brother. To his family, he was everything: a steady presence, and a guiding hand. Whether being called Dad or "Papa," he wore each role with pride and joy. His family remembers him not just for the years he gave them, but for the warmth, strength, and laughter he brought into their lives. J.T. had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to "cut-up." He could spin a tale so convincingly, you’d swear every word was true.

Survivors include his loving wife of 58 years, Charlotte Wilson Parson, of Alto; son and daughter-in-law, Darian and Marcie Parson, of Lula; son and daughter-in-law, Kane and Nicole Parson, of Alto; grandchildren, Kamdun Parson, Mallory (Clay) Ardeeser, Shelby (Jacob) Blalock; great-grandchildren, Saylor, Spencer, and Sloane; and one great-grandchild on the way, Tahlia; sisters, Phyllis Baker, of Baldwin; Gloria (Jerry) Kimsey, of Lula; Gail Boling, of Baldwin; Carole (Ricky) Black, of Lula; brothers, Telford (Francine) Parson, of Lula; Donald (Diane) Parson, of Lula; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
