He leaves to cherish his memories his wife of 30 years, Roslyn Burnett Locklear; their sons, William Locklear of Colorado, Ethan Locklear (Terrika) of Lumberton.

So much can be said about James, but we will keep this short and sweet. He was a hard-working man. James loved his job at LREMC where he worked for many years, and he loved his co-workers. He loved his family and friends and never met a stranger. As one of his friends said, “He’d give you the shirt off his back and never expect it back.”
