James David “JD” Cauley

July 18, 1951 – August 22, 2021

James David “JD” Cauley, 70, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, August 22, 2021. JD proudly served in the United States Army from 1972 until 1976. An avid outdoorsman, JD took in everything nature offered. He enjoyed traveling and experiencing new places and things, but he held the beauty and wonder of Colorado especially close to his heart. JD adored animals, especially the dozens of dogs he rescued and loved during his lifetime. Perhaps most importantly, JD will be remembered for his overwhelming kindness and sweet, gentle spirit. JD never met a stranger and was always himself: a person whose generosity, genuineness, and capacity to care touched everyone he came in contact with. JD is survived by his daughter Mickie Murray, her husband Ben, his grandchildren Michael & Paul, his sister Linda England, and nieces Bridget, Denise, Tami, and Rachael. He was proceeded in death by his wife Shirley Sibley Cauley, his parents James Ira “JI” and Whillhearee “B” Cauley, and sisters Dyanne Cowart, Wanda Jones, Barbara Cauley, and Bertie Cauley. Visitation will be at Seale Funeral Home on Wednesday, August 25th from 5:00 – 8:00 pm and Thursday, August 26th starting at 8:00am, with service at 10:00am at Seale. Graveside service will follow at 1:30 pm in Bogue Chitto, MS at the Promised Land Family Cemetery. Condolences may be offered at
