James Edward Starbuck

James leaves behind his Mother, Karen Starbuck, Brother, Jeremy Starbuck and Jeremy's wife Kimmie who James always referred to as his baby sister, and nieces, Katie and Mollie Burnia, and his aunts Janice Starbuck and Karen Martin.

He will be missed by his cousins, Matthew and Jessica Hatfield, their son James and his fianceé Torre Hoffman, Christopher Hatfield and his son Koby and his fianceé Julia McKlin. His Nephew Egie Camp, Niece Nora Starbuck, and Goddaughter Bethany Tillman. He will also be missed by his Family in New York which includes: 2 Great Aunts, Mary Bango and Rose Travis, both in their 80’s, and many close cousins and their families.

James had many friends the best of which were Chris Wampler (Dawn), Larry Weber, Pat Moloney (Roxanne), Jon Foster, Alex Erbs and the Gang on Alameda Street.

James will be missed most of all by Kimberly Bradshaw (Fianceé). They were together from 2008 until his passing and loved each other dearly, and their granddaughters Ava and Teagan who James considered his granddaughters and loved to spend as much time with them as possible.

James was a professional contractor, painter, roofer, carpenter and a man of all trades who took pride in his work. He loved watching sports like Football but especially his St. Louis Blues!

James loved his family and friends dearly and enjoyed spending time with all!

The family would like to Thank everyone who was there for us when we needed help or just a shoulder to lean on. We would especially like to Thank the doctors, nurses and aids at Siteman Cancer Center and Parkview Tower Staff. If it was not for you we would not have had James as long as we did.

Please do not be sad for James’s passing he’s better now and having a good time wherever he is.. This is what we believe in our hearts and hope you will too!
