In Loving Memory of “Junebug” James W. Pruitt Jr.

This fundraiser honors “Junebug” James W. Pruitt Jr., age 21, of Heiskell, TN — a young man who lived boldly and left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

Junebug had a fearless, adventurous spirit and an infectious laugh. Whether he was riding, fishing, golfing with family, or simply spending time with friends, he made every moment count and made people feel seen and valued. A 2022 graduate of Clinton High School, he was a Sales Manager at Oak Ridge Nissan and had a bright future ahead.

Tragically, Junebug lost his life in a motorcycle accident on February 17, 2026. His sudden passing has left his family, girlfriend, and community heartbroken and facing unexpected expenses.

This GoFundMe was created to help support his loved ones — especially his girlfriend Sara Hammitt — with funeral, memorial, and related costs. Every donation, no matter the amount, makes a difference.
