On February 10, 2026, our hearts broke with the sudden and tragic loss of James Paul Eastis, a 73-year-old devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and respected bond recovery agent from Mulga, Alabama. Born on October 1, 1952, James was a lifelong resident of the Mulga community, where he built a life rooted in hard work, courage, and family. For many years, he served as a bond recovery agent (often known as a bounty hunter), approaching his work with professionalism, bravery, and a deep sense of responsibility to keep communities safe. Colleagues and friends in the industry remember him for his steady reliability, kindness, and unwavering commitment to doing what was right.
Above all, James was a family man. He shared 55 loving years of marriage with his beloved wife, Sandra Eastis, creating a strong foundation for their family. Together, they raised two children: their daughter, Jamie Moore and their son William James Eastis (known as "Opie"). James was a proud grandfather and great-grandfather to multiple grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who will forever cherish the love, guidance, and stories he shared with them. His sudden passing has left an irreplaceable void in Sandra's life and in the hearts of his entire family. This memorial fundraiser, organized by James's colleagues and friends in the Alabama Bail Bond Association, is to honor his incredible legacy and provide practical support to Sandra and the family during this profoundly difficult time.
Funds will go directly to Sandra to help with funeral and burial expenses, any final costs or arrangements, immediate household and living support as the family navigates this loss, and ongoing needs for Sandra, her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Every contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference. We'll post regular updates to share progress, express gratitude to donors, and let everyone know how the support is helping. James lived a full life of service, love, and dedication. Let's rally together to ease the burden on Sandra and the family, ensuring they feel surrounded by community care in his memory. Rest in peace, James Paul Eastis. You will be deeply missed and forever remembered. With heartfelt thanks, the Alabama Bail Bond Association, on behalf of Sandra Eastis and family.
