James was born in Detroit on October 12, 1934, to Anthony and Mary (Walla) Labon. His life was marked by dedication, hard work, and a profound love for his family.
James served his country with honor in the United States Air Force before returning home to begin a lifelong journey with the love of his life, Janice Sylvia Kelley. On August 23, 1958, Jim and Janice were married in Detroit. Their incredible marriage spanned 67 beautiful years, serving as a foundation of love and commitment for their family.
He dedicated 40 years of his life to General Motors, starting at the Cadillac Fisher Body Plant in Detroit and retiring from the Hamtramck Assembly Center. Outside of work, James was an avid bowler, baseball player, and enjoyed hunting.
