Tribute to our Uncle Bubba

James Carter Ellis was the name he was given but Bubba was the name his family and friends chose. We were so sad to say goodbye to him yesterday but are grateful for the many memories he has given us. He was a great light of cheer to all of those around him, always making us laugh and willing to give a helping hand. He loved Nascar and wrestling and was definitely a kid at heart. He LOVED his family and more especially his nephews. He lived with the Isham family for the past seven years and became more than a huge part of the family. JR and I have always said we wanted to name our son Carter after Bubba and now there is no doubt we will want to honor such an important man to us both. We are happy that Bubba is now in heaven and smiling down on us. He was one
incredible man. It has definitely taught us that you never know when God will be ready to bring you home.. so we better get ready. Bubba was healthy just a day ago and then died at the age of 48 very suddenly.
