James Robert Hallex, 61, of West Ashley, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Thursday, Feb 16, 2017. He is survived by his wife, Gail Brockenfelt Hallex and their son Hunter Lee Hallex. He is also survived by siblings, Edward “Bubba”, John , Paul, Christopher, Marie, Mary and Carmel, nephew EC and niece Laura .He is predeceased by his parents, Edward C Hallex & Edna Graff Hallex and his brother Michael. “Wetting a line” many a time, he was a determined fisherman. Never caught much but “ a bad day of fishing was better than a good day of work.” He enjoyed the sports of Nascar and football and was excited when his son was born on the day of the Daytona 500. Known to some as ”the ghost”, he loved going for rides in the truck, making the “17 Run” daily. He was a man of few words and his son, Hunter, was his world. Friends may visit with the family Saturday, February 25, 2017 , at the James A. McAlister Funeral Home 1620 Savannah Hwy from 11:00 AM till 1:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Hunter Hallex Education Benefit Donation Fund at any Charleston area Wells Fargo Bank.
