LaMarr James, icon. He was the fourth of four siblings born February 13, 1958 to Luther James and Louise Adams James. God gave him a wonderful personality and sense of humor. People gravitated to him. He truly lived the motto of making the world a better place.
It was at his best friend’s wedding that he looked down the long aisle of the church and saw the love of his life standing there. The introductions were made and the rest is history. He married Donna Bowerman and began their great love story. Taylor and Madison were added to their lives. Each day was spent hiking, playing, laughing. LaMarr’s world was his family, and he brought all of his love into their lives and shared his passions with them. He opened new worlds with motorcycles, bicycles, rebuilding old cars and music. Together, he and Donna took the role of taking care of people. Their home was always open. LaMarr and Donna helped many families in so many ways. They put people first and what a difference that has made in numerous lives.
He is preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Luther Darrell (Butch) James Jr, his father in law, Burl Bowerman, and his brother in law, Randy Bowerman. He leaves behind his beautiful wife, Donna, his son, Taylor of whom he is so proud, his daughter, Madison, the light in his eyes; two sisters, Bertha Reid and LaVera Fleet (Wayne), his forever sister in law, Rona Bowerman Bippert (Ernest), his two nieces and two nephews, Leah Suggs, Tina Pool, Randon Bowerman (Candice), Jordan Fleet, and six great nieces and nephews.
LaMarr gave freely and gladly. His humor was infectious, his love big, his giving unconditional. He lived his calling. He made a difference. He shaped a better world as he walked in it. He lives on in those of us that are left. May we love more, laugh our heads off, see the need and help each other. We love you, forever, LaMarr. Until we meet again.
