James was a humble man seldom seen without his welding cap. He enjoyed the outdoors, especially hunting, fishing, and gardening. He was a skilled gardener and loved to share his vegetables with his friends and family. James attended Bertram Elementary and graduated from Burnet High School. He had many good memories of his childhood and liked to share his stories about showing sheep through FFA, spending time at the Bertram Horse Club Arena, and his summers hauling hay and stories of the friends he met along the way.
