James Newton Magee
Aug. 25, 1962 – Nov. 21, 2025
James “Jimmy” Newton Magee, 63, of Tylertown, died Nov. 21, 2025, at Walthall County General Hospital. Jimmy was a family man who never failed to let those he loved know it every single day. He often referred to his wife Lisa as “my Lisa” who he spent 13 amazing years with. Their love was a once in a lifetime. He also loved his kids and grandkids fiercely and never missed a single event no matter what or where. He spent many evenings taking rides with his dog Chewy. He was the quintessential example of a present father and grandparent. From the time he was ten-years-old he had a job and worked hard. He dedicated 39 years to his family at Jones working with his “boys” as he liked to call them.
A celebration of life service will be held at Tylertown Baptist Church Dec. 6, 2025, at 10 AM followed by fellowship with the family until 1 PM. Hartman Hughes Capps Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
James was preceded in death by his mother, Josephine Bowman Magee; brother, Joey Magee.
Survivors include his wife, Lisa Wood Magee; son, Taylor Magee (Ashley); daughters, Clancey Bedwell (Drew) and Lauren Thomas; grandchildren, Kage Bedwell, Layton Magee, Keaton Bass, Livie Magee, and Karter Bedwell.
