James P. Cartwright
Munday
James P. Cartwright of Miami, FL and Montgomery, TX, known to his friends as Pat or as Jim, passed away June 26 after a valiant fight with Pancreatic Cancer.
Pat was the son of Mary and Al Cartwright of Munday, born May 25, 1953. Al remarked on the way home that the Cotton was up, the Wheat crop looked good and was about ready to cut and that they were bringing home a big, healthy son- what more could one ask for?
Pat graduated from Munday High School in 1971 and then served in the U.S. Army through 1973. He was a 1977 graduate of Texas A&M University and spent his entire career in the Agriculture Crop Research and Chemical Business. He was a member of the Church of Christ and numerous trade organizations. He was a devoted and avid Fisherman and Hunter and was a proud member of the National Rifle Association.
He was preceded in death by his father, Al, in 1993. He is survived by his mother, Mary Cartwright of Munday; brother Lou Cartwright and his wife Janis of Austin and children Ali Bailey, her husband Alex and son Sam of Abilene and son Cliff and his son Gunnar of Abilene; sister Lisa Cartwright of Garland and children Rachel Flutcher and husband Seth of Frederick, Co. and her son Jaron Peek and his wife Tiffany of Euless; sister Cathy Martin and husband David of Rockwell and children Randall and his wife Dani of Grand Prairie, son Phillip of Denton, daughter Kate and her daughter Maddi of Waxahachie and daughter Samantha of Bryan. He is also survived by lifetime best friend Phillip (Holbrook) Smith and wife Denise of Katy and children Phillip and his wife Dana and son Ayden of Katy, son Kyle and his wife Teresa and son Owen of Magnolia and daughter Lorin of Katy.
Contributions in his honor may be made to West Texas Rehabilitation Center, the Noah Project, The Lustgarten Pancreatic Cancer Research, Wounded Warrior Project or of course the charity of one's choosing.
Services will be at 2PM Sunday, June 30 at Munday Church of Christ with Minister Wayne Speer officiating. There will be visitation with the family after the service.

I have many happy lifetime memories of the Cartwrights: Al, Mary and the children. May God bless you with his presence, especially now.

We remember Pat and Lou going to Haskell for singing school with my brother, Tim. These guys all wanted to be song leaders and yes they were. The Cartwright family and ours go way back and we know that Pat is with Al now and they are enjoying their time together. Our prayers are with you during this loss. God Bless You All.

Pat was a great friend to grow up with. We were baptized the same day at the Munday Church of Christ when we were about 12 years old. It was his idea so he went first and Danny Stone and I followed him. We always wanted to be like Pat. He was just a great guy
and we will follow him again someday. Precious memories. Much love to Cartwright family from my family
