Michael James Obituary
Michael Alan James passed away March 12, 2025, in Mansfield, Texas.
On June 8, 1964, in Dallas, Texas, Michael was born to Paul James and Linda Harvey James. After graduating high school, he enlisted in the Army then worked for Rhema, JMeds and Hearing Tech. Michael could often be found trying to hit that 300 on the bowling lane, sitting on the water bank with a fishing pole, or in the back yard grilling for family and friends. And of course, win, lose, or lose, he was a diehard Cowboys fan!
Michael is survived by his ex-wife but still closest friend, Gayle James; daughters, Kerri and husband Ashley Langford, Lacey Williams; mother, Linda James; sister, Paula James; brother, Larry James; grandchildren, Zane, Kylie, Haley, Kamryn, Kendall, Harper; great-grandchildren, Rayne, Sterling; niece, Robin James; nephew, John James; close family and friends, Aunt Sue, Joe Mallonee; as well as many others too numerous to name.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making donations to Wounded Warriors in Michael James' name.
