KANNAPOLIS -- James "Duck" Mullis, of 205 Dale Ave., Kannapolis, born Nov. 12, 1923, traded his sick, earthly body for his glorified one on Jan. 19, 2002.
He was the son of C.F. and Betty Mullis, who have also gone to their Heavenly home. Duck was one of seven children, of which three are still living. A sister, Hilda Bradley of Mint Hill, and two brothers, Harold "Bud" Mullis and Grady Mullis of Kannapolis.
"Duck" is survived by his loving wife of 27 years, Juanita Mull Mullis; three sons, Cameron "Cam" Mullis and wife Beverly of Jacksonville, Fla., Stanley "Stan" Mullis and wife Dixie of San Leon, Texas, and Scott Mullis and wife Kellie of Kannapolis; two step-children, Mike Clark and wife Nancy of Kannapolis and Barbara Asay and husband David of Chapel Hill, N.C. Additions to his family are nine grandchildren, Mica Thomas, Natalie Clark, Serena Mullis, C.J. Mullis, Jeremy Mullis, Lauren Asay, Whitney Mullis, Alana Brooke Asay, and Kristina Mullis.
"Duck" was a man of loving character, never ashamed to show emotion. He was strong when need be and yet humble at the same time. He worked hard to support his family through the years and never let them lack for anything. By his humble spirit he has left a great example for his family and others to follow.
He was educated at McIver School in Kannapolis and was an active member of Central Baptist Church.
He served the U.S. Army as a member of the 825th Engineer Aviation Company for four years during World War II, serving in the European Theater.
He was employed by Cannon Mills as an overseer in wet finishing department until his retirement in 1981 due to his declining health.
