James was a man who found joy in the simple pleasures of life. A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, he cherished spending time with his beloved family. His wife, Peggy Eaton-Davis, was his constant companion and partner in life's journey. He was a proud father to Sarah (Phil) Bargardi and Matthew (Ashlee) Davis, and a loving grandfather to Luca and Zoey, who were his pride and joy. He also leaves behind his brother, Dane, with whom he shared many cherished memories.

James had a deep love for gardening and took great pleasure in tending to his chickens. His home was his sanctuary, where he often engaged in home improvement projects, always striving to make it a warm and welcoming place. He had an adventurous spirit, often traveling to Mexico to explore its vibrant culture and landscapes.

An avid fan of sports, James could often be found cheering on the Lions, sharing in their triumphs and defeats. He also enjoyed cooking, finding delight in preparing meals for those he loved.

James's memory will be forever cherished by his family and friends, who will love and miss him. His cremation will take place at "The Witness Crematory" located inside of Michigan Memorial Funeral Home.
