Ford – James Michael Ford, age 65, of Hilliard, Florida passed away on June 1, 2022.  He was born on October 14, 1956, in Newport, North Carolina to Robert Earl Ford and Ursula Louise Lawrence Ford.  James was a dedicated father and grandfather.  He was at every event and never broke a promise.  James was a true man of his word.  Many children would think he was Santa Clause because of his long, white beard. He would always play along and say "HoHoHo." James had the biggest heart and loved everyone.

James leaves behind his children, James (Debra) Ford, Michael Ford, Julia Ford (Bobby) Burchfield; grandchildren, Sarah Ford, Susie Ford, Amelia Siegel, Kaylynn Burchfield, Chyanne Burchfield, Cameron Burchfield, Hunter Burchfield; siblings, Julia Ford (Kenny) Brock, Timmy (Megan) Ford.
