Mr. James Badger Obituary
It is with profound sadness and heartfelt sorrow that we announce the passing of Mr. James Jeremiah Badger, beloved son of Esther B. McGruder, Manager of Wilson Funeral Home. James was born on October 17, 2000, and transitioned on February 20, 2026.
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, March 8, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. at Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church, 4008 E. Cayuga Street, Tampa, Florida 33610. For the memorial celebration of life service, the family requests that all attendees wear shades of blue.
James’ presence in this world was a gift. Though his time here was far too brief, the love he shared, the laughter he brought, and the memories he created will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew him. His life made an impact that will not be forgotten.
In moments like these, words often fall short, but we find comfort in knowing that love does not end it continues through cherished memories and the bonds that remain unbroken.
During this incredible difficult time, we ask that you keep the Badger and Hospedales families lifted in prayer, comforted by the love and support of friends, family, and community.
