James K. Joslin

James K. Joslin, 46, of Stuttgart, formerly of England, Arkansas, died Jan. 18, 2016, after falling from a deer stand in the Lodge's Corner area in Arkansas County. He was born June 8, 1969, in Little Rock to Betty Lou and Doyle J. Joslin. Joslin was the editor of the Tri-Lakes, Three Rivers and River Valley & Ozark zoned editions of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Along with his regular editor duties, Joslin infused his passion for hunting and fishing into stories he wrote about outdoor activities. Joslin also spent many evenings officiating high school and youth football and basketball. His family said he made lasting friendships with his fellow referees, but he was really there for the kids and wanted to pass on his love and knowledge of sports to the younger generation. He is survived by his wife of 13 years, Tiffany Terra Joslin of Stuttgart; two brothers, David Joslin of Little Rock and Terry Joslin of Van Wert, Ohio; and a sister, Debby Joslin of Batesville. He was preceded in death by his mother, his father and a brother, Richard Joslin. The James Joslin Celebration of Life will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Burns Park Hospitality House in North Little Rock. The Rev. Rocky Joslin will speak at 10:30 a.m., and a potluck will begin at 11, with opportunities for friends and family to share stories about James. The family has requested that attendees dress in camouflage in his memory and bring food to share. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established at www.gofundme.com/wxkbffqc to support his family.
