From Brent Poplin:

"Today my brother Jim Poplin fought his last battle on this earth. Many people will try to tell me that cancer took his life. I prefer to believe that he fought the good fight. He won the prize and can now go home and rest. He will be missed. I love you Harold Jr., see you soon! James H. Poplin, Jr. 11/16/53 - 7/21/12"

In a sport where character is so often in short supply, Jim Poplin brought an abundance of it.

We lost a good man today. A very good man.

Rest in peace, Mr. Poplin. And to the Poplin family, I am so very sorry for your loss.
