James was a graduate of Central High School and Mesa State College with a bachelor's degree in Accounting and Business Management. He was employed at St. Mary's Hospital until he was no longer able to work because of his Huntington's.
James was an avid baseball fan attending Mesa State, JUCO, Colorado Rockies and Grand Junction Rockies games as often as possible with his sister, Genevieve, until they were no longer able to go. Growing up, he loved hunting and fishing with his dad. James enjoyed square dancing and crocheting. He was also an accomplished poet in the process of having a book of his poetry published.
James is survived by his mother, Pauline Crumly; sister, Genevieve Crumly; aunts, Estella (Mel) Kaufholtz, Maryann (Ben) Romero, and Rebecca Montano; uncles, Michael Montano, David (Lisa) Montano, and Steven Montano as well as many cousins. He was preceded in death by his father, Lonnie Crumly, who also passed away from Huntington's disease; grandparents, Pedro and Genoveva Montano and James and Bertha Crumly.
