James Doyle “JD” Eaves, II, passed away at the age of 16 on Wednesday, August 18, 2021, at Winston Medical Center in Louisville, Mississippi. Funeral services will be 5 p.m. Saturday, August 21 at Good Hope Baptist Church in the Nanih Waiya Community with Rev. Jason Gross officiating. Visitation will be the day of the service from 3 p.m. until service time at the church. Interment will immediately follow in Good Hope Cemetery.
JD was born March 17, 2005, to Natalie Nowell Young and Chad Eaves. He was a junior at Nanih Waiya Attendance Center. JD attended Good Hope Baptist Church with his family. He loved animals and at one time or another has owned a turtle, lizard, gecko, guinea pig, dogs, cats, and pigs! JD was very smart and technology oriented so he was the one to call to fix a cellphone, computer, or television. Even though he was unable to participate, JD loved sports. He also enjoyed Legos architecture (meaning 4000+ pieces) and playing video games.
JD is survived by his mother Natalie Nowell Young and husband Brian Young Louisville, his father Chad Eaves and wife Amanda of Hickory, Mississippi, and his sister Joy Paige Eaves. He also leaves behind his grandparents: Carol and Harry Nowell of Louisville, Betty and “Wibby” Young of Noxapater, Mississippi, and Wanda and Leslie Shivers of Madison, Mississippi. JD is also survived by his step-brothers Carson Young and Logan Sayers, his step-sisters Brianna Young and Lanie Sayers, and his uncle Lucas (Britni) Nowell, as well as many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He is preceded in death by his grandparents Helen and Doyle Eaves, uncle Kevin Eaves, and cousin Nolan Ellzey.
Serving as pallbearers are Logan Ellzey, Cody Ming, Marty Ming, Eric Nowell, Matt Renick, and Tony Sistrunk.
