Bradenton, Florida - Born in Orlando, James nurtured a deep love for nature and reptiles. A proud Seminole American Indian, he held a profound connection to the earth and all its creatures. James brought joy to many through his music, often playing the harmonica at gatherings, and was known for his humor & warmth.
He shared a special bond with his wife, Cheri, enjoying rides on his Harley and a life filled with love and laughter. Jim loved a good beer, a hearty laugh, and had a natural gift for making people smile.
He is lovingly survived by his Wife Cheri, children Heidi, Annette, Nathan, stepdaughter Penny, and grandchildren Natalia, Jordan, Anthony, Gregory, Ember, and daughter-in-law Tabatha. He will be dearly missed and fondly remembered forever.
