James Logan Hollis' Obituary
It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of James Logan Hollis.
James, 80, of Clinton, TN, passed from this life on March 25th, 2022.
He was born on March 19th, 1942 to Mother, Edna Wand Shenk & Father, Hershel Hollis in Redmond, Oregon.
James was raised in the Lake City area and graduated from Lake City High School, where he played football and
basketball. He was a proud veteran of the United States Air Force. Upon completion of his military service, James
returned to Lake City, TN where he wed Sue and started his family. James began his career at the Tennessee Valley
Authority. He spent his early years coaching his children in little league sports, traveling with his family to national
parks and sowing deep roots in the community. After completing over thirty years of dedicated service in the
department of engineering, he retired from TVA. James, a servant to his neighbors and community, enjoyed volunteering with Habitat for Humanity and other numerous non-profit organizations. Known as 'Papaw', he enjoyed spending time reading to his great grandchildren
and was formative in their love of books and continued learning. James was an avid traveler, hiker, and reader who
