\"\"<\/a>James “Bert” Hamrick, 96, of Fultondale, Alabama, and formerly of Hanceville, passed away peacefully on Friday, December 13, 2025.<\/p>\n

A dedicated man of deep faith and loving family, James lived a life defined by service and devotion. He was a lifelong, steadfast member and deacon of Fultondale First Baptist Church, where his greatest joy was doing God’s work and guiding his church family.<\/p>\n

James proudly served his community and his profession, retiring after a distinguished career with Alabama Power\/Southern Company Services.

The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to the staff at Russell Medical and Southern Care New Beacon for their compassionate care and support.<\/p>\n

He leaves behind a legacy of integrity, kindness, and unwavering faith that will continue to inspire all who knew him.<\/p>\n
