(UPDATED) Nathaniel James Jennings, Jr, 60, of Jefferson City, departed this life on Sunday, March 29, 2020 at Morristown Hamblen Healthcare Systems.
“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loved one, James Jennings. He fought until the very end. Now, he can be at rest.
Due to the current health climate, those wishing to pay your respects to Granny Teen’s (his mother) home, please leave condolences via phone (865-475-8508) or leave notes on the porch. Other family members can contact them directly.
The family appreciates your prayers, thoughts and expressions of love for James,” the family.
Editor’s note: As a self-employed barber and beautician in Knoxville and Morristown, TN, James was a responsible man. He paid for healthcare insurance up until he became ill about 2-years ago. Unable to pay the premiums – it lapsed – just in his time of need, according to James.
James’s father, James, Sr. passed in January 2020; just 2 months ago.
The current public protocol does not allow gatherings for the living or deceased. This includes wakes, repass, burials. There will be no public gathering for us to collective mourn/celebrate James’s life.
Please consider giving James one last tip for his kindness, friendship, and service. If you can help, the family has set-up a GoFundMe page. Click the link to contribute.
Arrangements are pending. Casual viewing time (no more than 5 at a time) will be announced by Unity Mortuary of Knoxville.
