My sincere condolences to the Atterbury family on the passing of Mr. Cowboy. May you all find solace in the word of the God. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
My husband, Eddie Roy, spoke fondly of Cowboy and the Atterbury family over the years. In his memory, I extend sympathy to the Atterbury family and will keep you in my prayers. Be blessed!
Many and various great times were shared with the legendary “Cowboy”. The best to all of “Cowboy’s familiars and condolences.
My sincere condolences to the Atterbury family. “Cowboy” was a friend to everybody. I have great memories of long conversations wherever we met. Rest in peace!
God gives peace that surpass all understanding. The first thing that comes to my mind is “Cowboy is a legend “the impact that he made on baseball was phenomenal during the time that he played. The impact that he made on me the first time I met him. I understood who he was and what he stood for. It reminded me of my dad. His legacy will live on through his kids and grandkids God bless, praying for y’all and I love y’all.
So sorry to hear of “Cowboy” passing. He was a close family friend whom I’ve had the privilege of knowing for over forty years. As a young boy I remember his love for dogs, Akita in particular. Rest in Heaven Cowboy.
My sincere and heartfelt condolence to the Atterbury Family. Cowboy and I grew up together played baseball, graduated HS and where friends together in the Village. Although “Cowboy” was definitely a much more superior baseball player than I it was such a pleasure to be on the same baseball field with him. Rest my brother, my friend because you fought the good fight and now you can receive your reward. RIHP!
Clara ,Clarence, and Family : There are no words to take away sadness when you lose someone you love. This comes to let you know that you’re wished strength and comfort in the days ahead.With prayers and sympathy.
My condolences to my family and I pray for strength through this difficult time

I have known James Atterbury since the 1960s. He was married to my cousin, Elease and we all called him “COWBOY”. He was a very good and outstanding baseball player. The last time I saw him, he was pushing his mother down the aisle of Bethlehem Baptist Church. I remember when he was engaged to my cousin, her father, Deacon Willie Kennedy had them both in Bible Study at the house, as they prepared for marriage. I was very please to see him become active in the church Blessings on the Atterbury Family. May he enjoy the heavenly reward God has promised to us all.
