James Ray Millhorn James: Origin. Word/name. Hebrew, Latin. Meaning. "He may/will/shall follow/heed/seize by the heel/watch/guard/protect”. PROTECTOR that is what he was- he was our families protector. A loving son, brother, father and friend. He will always be remembered for his contagious laugh and his infectious smile. If heaven had a phone, I would call to tell him how much his babies have grown and oh how we miss him so. As long as I have breath in my lungs I will let your memory live on!
