James Angelos

1929 - 2015

Our father, grandfather, and brother James B. Angelos Jr. caught his long awaited bus ride to heaven on January 4, 2015.
James was a musician who played with many famous musicians, a writer who wrote books and music, an activist, a Greek chef, a comedian, and many other things, but his biggest passion was his family. Spending time with his family was the most important thing in his life. If his story was told only heaven knows but to us he had a halo. James was willing to help anyone regardless of one's race or religion or whether one was rich or poor. He did not care. He touched the lives of many. He hoped to visit his parents' homeland of Greece one last time and his dream was for his son Weldon to be reunited with our family. But now he is finally having his pizza and wine with Jesus like he always wanted. He will truly be missed.
James is survived by his children Lisa, Weldon, Justin, Christina, Linda, Cindy, and Boyd; by his grandchildren Anthony, Candice, Cheri, Angela, Richard, Jessica, Anthony, Jesse, Meranda, Cyrus, Alena, Nico, and Tyler, brothers Tommy and Bill, sister Carol and by his ex-wife Gail, who he stopped loving this day. He was preceded in death by his sisters Vivian and Patricia, his brother Paul and his grandson Skyler.
His viewing will be held on January 17th at 1:00 and the services will be at 3:00 at Wasatch Lawn Memorial on 3401 South Highland Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah.
In lieu of flowers, cash donations are accepted.
