Death date: Aug 17, 2024
On Saturday, August 17, 2024, James Darlington Mixson (Jim), loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Jim was a man of unwavering faith and was a servant to God Read Obituary
I first met Jim at my mother’s funeral in Williston where he stood from the audience and gave a wonderful eulogy as they were distant cousins. He was an incredibly kind soul and I would cherish our few visits at his favorite restaurant in Williston. Sad to hear of his passing, I will miss him.
Dan, Judy and family… Dan and I want to send our deepest and most sincere sympathy to all of you for the passing of your father, grandfather and great grandfather. We had the pleasure of spending time with he and Sue on our visits to Florida after my husband Dan discovered his biological family. Your mother Sue is Dan’s cousin. We had so much fun with everybody and they all welcomed us into the family whole heartily. Jim loved his cows and his tractors and loved talking about them all. And me coming from a farming family lived to hear about all of them. When ask how many cows he had. His response was he really never kept count. Jim was a very devoted family man. Devoted his whole life to his precious Queen Bee and family. And he had certainly left a legacy for all to remember. Rest in Peace dearest Jim. Sandy and Dan Fleming

Mr. Mixson was a wonderful manager at Belk Lindsey on main Street back in 1968 where I met him and worked with him for years. He was a great mentor to me, teaching me about retail and life. I adored his humor and sweet smile. Heaven gained another angel.
Jim was a true pillar of faith. A wonderful example and someone that I looked up to. Always had a smile and a saying (Jim-ism) for any situation that would bring a smile to your face. I am thankful for his impact on me and everyone else that he ever came in contact with. We can all be comforted by the knowledge that he and Miss Sue are together and praising the Lord even as I write this note. I look forward to seeing them both again soon!
May God’s loving comfort that He has promised be special to family and friends during this difficult time. Cherish your wonderful memories. ❤️💜
We loved and admired Jim and his “Princess” Sue Mixson. They ministered to us in our Life Group class and during illnesses. Sue kept our church and class busy all the time. They were a dynamic duo and will be missed terribly.

Jim will be missed by all who knew him. His infectious laughter, enthusiasm for life and Christian values were evident. Condolences to his close family and friends. George and Susan Gulledge
Tom and I are so very sad to hear of our dear neighbors passing. We’ve always enjoyed his colorful stories and farming advice. Tom will miss the occasional lunch outing with Jim and I will miss our chats. He loved when I brought him fresh sectioned oranges from my tree and the occasional sweets or supper plates. He was truly inspiring, getting up onto that tractor and feeding his cows well into his 90’s. Our entire family will miss our dear neighbor. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Tom and Tina Camp
