James Lee Kindrick, 59, of Crossville, TN passed away on June 24, 2026. He was born on May 4, 1967, in Crossville, TN, to Lonnie Franklin and Clara Frances (Davis) Kindrick.

James drew happiness from life’s simple pleasures. He loved the outdoors — farmhanding and cultivating his garden were favorite pursuits, and nothing brought him more joy than growing tomatoes and white half runners. James frequently tuned in to watch WWE wrestling and the Dallas Cowboys anytime they played. However, nothing compared to his love of watching Alabama football; James was a diehard Crimson Tide fan whose infectious fandom rubbed off on many who knew him.

He is survived by his cherished siblings, Mary (Russell) Ledbetter, Linda (Jerry) Cooper, Lonnie Wayne Kindrick, Betty Fox, and Becky Gibson; devoted nieces and nephews, Dusty, Travis, and Ben Ledbetter, Caleb (Kenzie) Cooper, Haley (Thomas) Williams, Erica Madden, Caden Fox, Isaac and Skyler Threet, and Makaley Gibson; as well as great-nephews Joshua, Kiser, Colton, Rayden, and Ashton. James was also blessed with steadfast and treasured friends, David and Jean Manis, Leslie Goss, Eugene Adams, and Ricky Neely.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Lonnie and Clara Kindrick.

James will be profoundly missed and warmly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to call him family and friends.

To James – Roll, Tide, Roll.
