James Edward Horton, 86, from Bryantown, MD, passed away peacefully on March 10, 2024, with his daughters by his side. He was born on January 8, 1938 in Canan, AR.
He worked in construction most of his life. Progressing through the ranks, he eventually attained the position of Vice President at The William Berry Co. His dedication and reputation earned him respect within the company.
