James Hale, 43, Rochester, passed away at 4:33 p.m. Tuesday, May 8, 2018, in Rochester’s Woodlawn Hospital.

James, the son of Frank Hale and Mary Pratt Baker, was born March 17, 1975, in Warsaw; his parents survive.

He was a graduate of Whitko High School and had worked for Warsaw Coil and Warsaw Foundry.

James was a die-hard Colts fan and enjoyed wrestling. He loved people, music and time spent with family. He enjoyed joking with people and was Life Care Center’s Resident Council president, responsible for coordinating and planning resident activities.

James was also a man of strong Christian faith, having given his heart to the Lord after an accident left him partially paralyzed more than 20 years ago.

In addition to his parents, three siblings survive: Sarah (Jack) Abbott, Warsaw; Richard (Ashley) Hough, Warsaw; and Amber Hale, Snyder, Texas. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

Those who preceded in death include his grandparents, two aunts and his uncle, Ronnie Pratt, with whom he was quite close.

Friends may join family for a time of viewing and to share memories from 10 a.m. to noon Friday, May 11, in Titus Funeral Home. Pastor Dave Hummel will officiate the funeral, which begins at noon.

Burial will be in Warsaw’s Oakwood Cemetery.
