Mr. Sasser was known to most as simply JD. He was an avid fisherman and hunter. He walked thousands of miles in Eastern NC with his beloved hunting dogs in pursuit of quail. He also spent countless hours on his boat with his wife and other family and friends. He was a carpenter by trade and a true Craftsman at everything he did. He was dearly loved by many and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

JD is survived by his sister-in-law, Jesse Britt Sasser; his brother-in-law, Ron Brown; nieces and nephews, Robert
Martin Sasser, Katherine Lynn Sasser Kelly, Michael Timothy Sasser, Russell Patrick Sasser, Angelia
Sasser, John A. Fields, Franklin Fields, Ryan Brown and Elisha Baker.
