We are sad to announce that on July 1, 2024 we had to say goodbye to James D. Keighton of Durham, North Carolina. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of James D. Keighton to show support.

In the vast expanse of eternity, may James find peace everlasting, cradled in the gentle embrace of the universe. And as we stand on the shores of remembrance, may his legacy inspire us to live each day with purpose, passion, and profound gratitude for the gift of life itself.
