Jace Everett Singleton

Jace Everett Singleton, age 2, passed from this life into the ever-loving arms of Jesus Christ on Monday, September 30, 2024.

Jace’s heart and eagerness to help others was always larger than his body, he loved big and bold and anyone in his presence could see and feel the joy within him. He was up for any adventure especially on the lake. He didn’t know a stranger but there were special people that made his world turn. His grandparents, aunts and uncles were always a highlight in Jace’s world. He loved their spoiling, hugs and laughter. His eyes would light up when he would see Mommy or Daddy and he was loved fiercely and adored by them both, he made them laugh until they cried and sometimes cry until they laughed. His energy was unmatched as well as his love, laughter and kindness. His favorites were tractors, cars, trucks, animals of any kind and Spider-Man held a special place in his heart and wardrobe. He loved the words “open it” especially around his birthday and was the fastest present opener in the south, not wasting any time to see what was inside each gift. Playing in the dirt was his favorite pastime but he was ready to wash it off once all the fun was had! The sparkle in Jace’s eyes and his beautiful smile will forever be imbedded on the world around him and he will be greatly missed until we see him again at the feet of Jesus.

Jace was preceded in death by his great uncle, Marc Fender.

Those left to cherish his memory are his parents, Katie Fender and Jackson Singleton; maternal grandparents: Sheila and Paul Rumnson, and Jason and Lyla Fender; paternal grandparents: Stacy Whitmoyer, and Jack and Jennifer Singleton; great grandparents: Belinda and Jim London, and Carolyn Sprouse; aunts: Sarah Fender, Meredith Thomas, Laura Massie and Jacob, and Hayley Singleton; uncle, Jeff Whitmoyer and Vicki; and many loving cousins.

Graveside services will be held at 2 PM Thursday, October 10, 2024, at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, with Pastor Ben Heise officiating. The family will receive friends following the service at the cemetery.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made in his memory to Pole Creek Baptist Church, 96 Snow Hill Church Rd, Candler, NC 28715.
