James Daniels Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Sellers Funeral Home, Inc. on Mar. 30, 2026.
James Zell Daniels was born July 2, 1931 to the late Fred Daniels and Rosa Lee Daniels. James was a proud and honorable veteran who served as a Paratrooper in the Unites States Army.

He retired from the force as a professional home builder at Skyline Inc in Ocala, FL. Shortly after retiring, James went back into the workforce to pursue his true passion as a butcher in the local community. He learned of this passion while he worked for a short period of time at White's Meat Packers.

James (Mr. Jimmy) continued his work as a butcher for 30 and plus years and was well known and truly loved by his community through his works and dedication. Not to mention his service as a dedicated member of Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church, where he thrived and built a stringer foundation for himself and all who loved him.

James leaves to cherish precious memories: Loving and Devoted Wife of 40 years, Manda Laster Daniels; loving sons and daughters; loving grands and great grand kids; loving nephews and nieces, along with the multitude of other family members and friends, that he loved and loved him.
