James Dantzler, ll, son of the late James Dantzler, Sr. and Edna Hamlet Dantzler, was born April 5, 1958, in Baltimore, Maryland. He departed life suddenly on May 25, 2025. James was raised in the Baltimore area, where he attended Baltimore City College High School.
"Tic", as he was called by many friends, and "Billy", as he was called by family, was a devoted father and friend.
If you knew James, you knew he loved playing basketball and will tell you in a heartbeat that Lebron doesn't compare to Mike; Michael Jordan that is. He was a kind, gentle person, and very hardworking. He had worked and retired from both Johns Hopkins Hospital and University of Maryland Medical Center in their sterile processing departments.
He leaves to mourn: two sons, James Dantzler, III. and Jordan Dantzler; two grandchildren, Ellyssa Dantzler and Nathaniel Dantzler; one goddaughter, Crystal Linton; one brother, Daryl "Ronnie" Dantzler; and a host of other relatives and friends.
