James Louis Pound, 69, known by family and friends as Louis, passed away at Mizell Memorial Hospital in Opp, AL from COVID19 on October 10, 2021. He was born July 27, 1952 in Florala, AL, the son of James H. Pound and Eloise Cook Pound.

Louis graduated from Florala High School and went to MacArthur Tech for mechanical repair. His talent, skill, and knowledge for repairing tractors, cars, and trucks became a life long journey. He was a hard working man, devoted to his wife and children. Along the way, he made numerous friends through his work, love for drag racing, and antique cars.

In his retirement years, he took an interest in homesteading. He loved making cane syrup, having corn meal made at Finks Mill, cooking on a wood stove, gardening, canning, and growing fruit trees.

Louis accepted Jesus as his savior the night before he went on the ventilator. He fought COVID19 for seven weeks before God called him to go home.

He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Sylvia Pound, daughter Jennifer (Jeff) Pybus, grand daughters Ima and Callie Pybus, Kalista Howard, great granddaughter MacKinlee Howard, sisters Jelaine Pound Smith (Joel) and family, Katrina Atkinson and family, and mother in law Joyce Jackson.
