Obituary for Stanley "Jim" James Hoselton

"To the family and friends of Brother Hoselton:\r\n\r\nPlease accept my deepest condolences. Brother Hoselton's decades of faithful service as an elder across so many congregations left a lasting impression on the lives of many, and his reputation for being a hardworking, kind man is a testament to the Christian qualities he worked so hard to cultivate.\r\n\r\nWe can find great peace in knowing that Jehovah truly values the loyalty shown by his servants. As Hebrews 6:10 reminds us, God is not unrighteous so as to forget the work and the love shown for his name. Brother Hoselton\u2019s life of dedication is safely preserved in Jehovah\u2019s memory.\r\n\r\nWhile the loss of such a dear brother is painful, we are comforted by the hope found in the Scriptures. Jesus likened death to a peaceful sleep, as seen in John 11:11, and we know that Brother Hoselton is simply resting until the time when all those in the memorial tombs will hear Jesus' voice and come out (John 5:28, 29). What a joyous time that will be when he is reunited with his beloved wife, Patty, and the rest of his family in a world where death and pain will be things of the past (Revelation 21:3, 4).\r\n\r\nPlease know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May Jehovah continue to sustain you through this difficult time until the day we see Brother Hoselton again.\r\n\r\nWith warm Christian love,\r\n\r\nKevin Guillory, Jr."
