James "Casanova" Draughn Obituary

As Boyz II Men so beautifully expressed in "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday," the family of James Marshall Draughn now prepares to say goodbye to the man, the myth, and the legend of their family. Mr. Draughn, affectionately known as "Casanova," peacefully placed his hat upon his chest and departed this life on Friday, July 10, 2026, while resting comfortably in the loving care of his daughter's home. The Draughn family is being compassionately served by S. Jones Funerals and Cremations.


Family and friends will gather to celebrate the remarkable life of James Marshall "Casanova" Draughn on Sunday, July 19, 2026, at Red Hill Baptist Church.


A public viewing will be held from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the church sanctuary. Immediately following the viewing, the Celebration of Life Service will begin as family, friends, and loved ones come together to honor his life.
