With dignity, respect, and honor, it comes with great sorrow that we bring the news of James Little's passing. James was a graduate of White County High School, Class of 1985, residing in Sparta, TN.
James passed peacefully at home in Orange City, Florida, with family by his side. His wife, Stephanie Savage Little, also a White County graduate, never faltered during his battle with brain cancer, and the love and care she devoted to her loving husband was incredible.
James proudly served our country in the United States Navy for 30 years, spending over 15 years at sea. He retired as a Chief, but James didn't sit still very long. He started a second career becoming a maintenance lead for Bass Pro Shop in Round Rock, TX. He was very proud of the responsibility and the work he did there and talked about it often. James eventually transferred to Florida to be closer to family.
James was preceded in death by his father, James F. Little Sr.
James is survived by his mother, Celia A. Little, his loving wife, Stephanie Savage Little, brothers Wilfred Little (Vickie), Randy Little (Tonya), Scott Little (Patty), his children Rich Little (Caitlyn), granddaughter Carolyn Chris Kopp, grandson Dante Kevin Evans, granddaughter Elena Katie Evans, Andrew Booth, Nicholas Booth, and many nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Veterans Day, November 11, 2026, at 10 am with family members being received at 9:30 am at Grace Episcopal Church at 4110 S. Ridgewood Ave. Port Orange, FL 32127.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to either the Grace Episcopal Legacy Fund or Moffitt Cancer Center Neuro-Oncology Research and Education.
