Obituary for Michael Ray James
Michael Ray James, faithful father, loving grandfather, loyal friend, and lifelong Waco resident, was born in Waco on January 7th, 1949, and passed away Wednesday, January 20th, at the age of 67. A Richfield High graduate of 1967, Mike's final year was spent in retirement from Bird Kultgen Ford in Waco where he had worked all of his life. His greatest joys in retirement were spending time with and spoiling his two granddaughters, Zoey and Cora.
He is survived by his mother, Ida Christine James, his children, children-in-law, and grandchildren, Kathryn Christine Herron, Alex Herron, Coraline Rose Herron, Matthew Michael James, Katherine James, and Zoey Abigail James, as well as numerous cousins, and many friends at Bird Kultgen Ford and in the Waco community, including his lifelong best friend Lynn Gibson.
A visitation will be held at Oakcrest Funeral Home between 6 and 8 pm on Monday, January 25th. A graveside memorial service will be held at Mount Antioch Cemetery on FM 339 between Mount Calm and Prairie Hill at 11 am on Tuesday, January 26th.
Honorary pallbearers are Mike's many friends and coworkers from Bird Kultgen.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Mike's name to Care Net of Central Texas, 4700 West Waco Drive, Waco, TX 76710.
