James “Jim” R. Revells (1936 – 2025)
James “Jim” R. Revells, a man known for his generosity of spirit, passed away on September 22, 2025, at the age of 89.
James “Jim” R. Revells
Born May 30, 1936, in Howellsville, Warren County, Virginia, the son of Raymond Allen and Christine (Oliver) Revells, he was a lifelong resident of Warren County.
James is survived by his wife of 63 years, Sandra (Gill) Revells; his beloved daughter, Lorraine Megeath and husband Arthur of Front Royal; three grandchildren, Justin Toothman and wife Anna McDonald of Falls Church, Lindsey Toothman and husband Aaron Heishman of Las Vegas, NV, and Anya Megeath and partner Stevie Nowell of Front Royal.
He is preceded in death by his siblings, Ray Thomas Revells and Janet (Revells) Love; and a grandson, Evan Megeath, all of Front Royal.
James was a jack of all trades. An MP in the US Army and a Virginia State Trooper, he spent most of his life as a lumberjack and painter. He had a deep love of Bluegrass music and impressed many with his banjo picking. An avid outdoorsman, having grown up on the Shenandoah River, he shared his love of fishing with his family. He was a fixture of the flea market and the Hardees/McDonald’s morning breakfast crew. Always curious and resourceful, he never found something he wouldn’t try to fix.
A graveside service will be held at Prospect Hill Cemetery on Thursday, October 2, at 2:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you consider donating to Blue Ridge Hospice in appreciation of their support.
