Tributes to James
By: Eileen Coffman May 22, 2012
I consider it a privledge that I called James "friend". I am so thankful that we were able to go on a cruise together a few years ago. What wonderful memories.

I am reminded of John 17:11. Although these words were spoken by Jesus, I feel they are coming from James now.

John 17:11 "I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one."

Deanna and Levi:
We are keeping you in our prayers. Our hearts are saddened by your loss. James was such a wonderful person. No matter what you needed, he was there. I was telling Rachael and Anthony last night, he was the King of making the beans for any get together. With all our love for you and your families.

I have a hole in my heart today, but I look at Levi and I see James. I love the picture of James because that is how I remember him - always smiling. He had such a caring soul. Deanna, Melinda and Levi.....just remember that you will always be part of our family and we love you very much. I pray that God wraps his loving arms around you as you grieve and grants you some peace.
Love, Linda, Tony, TJ, Jeri Ann and Levi

We never looked at James as a son-in-law - to us, we couldn't have had a more blessed son! James, his Sister, Rose, His brothers, Andy & JR, & their wonderful wives & children always made Bubba & I feel like we belonged in the family & friends! James was a true family man - It didn't matter - nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers, sister, or his own immediate family - His family was ALWAYS FIRST!! He raised Melinda as if she were HIS own daughter, and the values & trustworthiness he instilled in her & the son he was so proud of - Levi - will enable them to carry on in this old world, and to be good children to their Mom. Dee. SO much more we wish we could have said, but James is up There & He knows how we felt about him! A couple months ago was the last time we got to share with James - We shared some special and emotional feelings, although the time was too short. We will all look forward to the day we see him again & though we are so sad at this time, we find solace in the fact that James is"In God's Hands" & will feel no more pain again! We loved him so very much!!

Deanna, Melinda and Levi,

My heart is broken. James will be sorely missed. He was the kindest, most loving and caring man that I know. He was always concerned about everyone else, and the old saying he would give you the shirt off his back was written because of people like James.

I love him, and I love you guys. I know you are overwhelmed with sorrow and I pray to God that James sends down just a bit more of his loving and caring to help you all find a little comfort.

I am sorry to say that I am working out of town and will miss the service, but my heart and soul will be there with James and my thoughts and prayers will be with you.

Please let Leen and I know if we can help you with anything.

Love Terry

Mr.James was a very loving and nice man. He was my neighbor and him and his family have been so nice to us since we moved into the neighborhood few years ago. He watched our house whenever we travelled overseas and he was one in a million,him and Levi helped me changed the starter in my truck about a month ago, he was always there for us. May God grant him eternal rest and be with the loved ones he left behind (Amen). May his soul rest in peace(Amen).

What a wonderful brother Jim was!! He was always the first one to help with anything. He was a great uncle to all the kids and loved them so much. My kids have so many fond memories of Uncle Jim, He was there for them so many times and was the first one to scold them for "mooning" him many years ago. He will truly be missed, but we will hold him in our hearts from now on.

James was our friend, our neighbor and our whole family loved him. He has been there for us and our children countless times. Mr. James, Scott and I will miss you, your expertise, your cooking, your laugh, our vacations, deer hunting, fishing and all the fun times we had together. We promise to always be there for your family....One day we will meet again my friend..

Mr. James will be missed by many. Buster and I have so many fond memories of our vacations, holidays, birthdays and special occassions that we spent w/James and Deanna. From the Ozarks down to South Padre Island and many places in between. Deanna, Melinda and Levi, God will give you the strenght you need during this time. John 14:1-4 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”

Every man seeks to surround himself with other men that he respects and that he honors. He does this because subcontiously he hopes someday to live up to their standards. James Brown set the bar high. I thank god he allowed me into his circle.
