James was born January 3, 1941 in Gordo, Alabama to the late William Harold Moss and Vista Ligon Moss. He graduated from Gordo High School in 1959 then worked at Gulf States Paper Mill for 17 years until its closure.  He worked a couple of jobs to get his family through some hard times then was able to find a job at Carpenter Shirley Lumber Company where he was taught the trade of saw filing.  James worked at Noland Lumber Company and Newton Lumber Company before retiring.
His greatest passion was working for and serving the Lord. James served as deacon, Sunday School teacher, song leader and in various committees.  He was a charter member of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Gordo but was a member of Double Branch "Old Corrs" Baptist Church at the time of his death.  Later in life James surrendered to the call to preach.  He served as Pastor at Springhill Baptist in Pickensville, Caines Ridge Baptist in Fayette, Double Branch "Old Corrs" Baptist in Gordo and New Harmony Baptist in Gordo. He served as interim and filled in when asked at several other churches.  He did these faithfully until his health wouldn't allow it.
Pallbearers will be Lane Moss, Garth Moss, Harold Moss, Wayne Moss, Brannon Moss, Scott Sutton, Logan McCool, Chad Evans, Lance Lambert and Tammy Lollar.
