James Daniel Ivester

James just crossed my mind, and I looked him up only to see this. We served together at Ft Carson. I considered him a good friend. We'd always bring stuff for lunch to out do the other one! ( And impress the old ladies ). Miss you Buddy! James Andrews Alabama

James, I won't forget all of our running at Fort Jackson and your smile and sense of humor. I remembered how you made me laugh and found you have moved on to the best place ever. I think a little bit of heaven was with you all along anyway. Not many like sincere souls like you and I am glad to have known you.

I'll Tell You About James


1. James was the kind of friend that you often read about but rarely see in living color.
2. He was exceptionally smart and had an insatiable appetite for learning. He read an article once about electrolysis and the construction of a cathode to clean away rust. As I recall, with the process came some risk of explosion but within a couple of hours, he had my tools in an all-day day-spa and they came out the other end rust free……. and surprisingly...

Very sorry to hear about his death. We had not spoken since summer of 2003. Condolences to his family, partner, and friends.

Our thoughts are with family and friends

I am so lucky to have met you, James. I will never forget you, your smile or your awesome personality. Thank you for everything. I love you.

James, I've heard so many stories about you from Brent, including "soup Tuesday." They just make me laugh. Every time I saw your face, you were always smiling. Keep smiling, and thank you for touching those around you. It is obvious that you are very loved. May Dave and your family find peace during this difficult time.

James, You are missed! I will miss your wit, your sarcasm, our battle-of-wits we had many times at work. It was a pleasure knowing you, and a pleasure being your friend. You will not be forgotten......

Deepest sympathy to James' family and friends. Rest in peace dear James.
