James Lloyd Kingston

James Lloyd Kingston was born May 11, 1967 and left this world December 19, 2018 James grew up in Olalla and attended Olalla Bible Church. He served alongside Dave Meigs as a youth leader there. After high school James began a career at Milgard Manufacturing, where he continued to work for over 30 years.



James attended Harper during high school and returned there about 15 years ago. James loved to serve and could often be found setting up chairs, getting the sound system working, leading and attending Bible studies, supporting children’s ministries and serving with the HAD (Hope for Addictions and Dependencies) ministry.



When friends were asked they said that James never heard of a need that was too big for him to meet. Not only that, but James met these needs without regard from where the request came. He was a champion for the underdog, and a friend to everyone. James loved riding quads in Oregon and riding his motorcycle. He always enjoyed the Bikes, Bands and BBQ festival at Harper, and it prompted him to buy his first motorcycle. He loved attending men’s retreats, and the learning and fellowship found there. James always wore his Seahawks jersey every Sunday at church and could wear a different one just about every week of the season.



James was preceded in death by his Father, James Kingston Jr. He is survived by his mother Karen, his brother John, and the impact he had in the lives of those that knew him. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to the Alzheimer’s Association ( https://www.alz.org/ ).
