James Blume Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
The loud, boisterous voice we love so much is now quiet, and the silence is deafening. James Allen Blume left us on August 27, 2024. He was a loving husband, beloved father & dedicated Girl Grandpa.
James is preceded in death by his parents George & Selma (Tiemann) Blume and brother George H. Blume. He is survived by wife Sandra, daughter Amanda (Chad), granddaughters Olivia & Juliana and siblings Nancy, David & Gerald. His extended family includes his many friends, a loyal bunch of characters with nicknames as inimitable as their stories.
A lifelong Seguin resident, James graduated from Seguin High School in 1971 and Texas State Technical Institute. He worked as a supervisor at Colorado Materials for 34 years. After retiring, he spent his days traveling and tending to his granddaughters.
An avid reader, keen hunter and recreational golfer, James was known for many things. He was an expert mechanic who could fix anything with an engine. He was a loyal, knowledgeable and helpful friend to know. However, if you called him for his expertise, he may voice his opinion on your oversight. He was perhaps most proud and renowned for his deer sausage, the original example of "if you know, you know". James reveled in the camaraderie of his friends and was cherished by his family. His loss leaves a void in our hearts.
Services are under the direction of Tres Hewell Mortuary. A visitation will be held Wednesday, September 4, 2024 from 5 p.m.–7 p.m. A celebration of life led by James' nephew, Pastor Brian Foster will be held on Thursday, September 5, 2024 at 10 a.m. followed by a "meet-up at The Legion" to celebrate James' life, share stories and relive the good times. Private interment will be at Appling Cemetery.
Memorial contributions may be made to St. James Catholic School, 507 S. Camp St. Seguin, TX 78155, where James' granddaughters attend or to The Buck Fever Foundation, P.O. Box 230, Seguin, Texas, 78156.
