In Loving Memory of James DeLosSantos
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of James DeLosSantos, a beloved father, cherished grandfather, steadfast friend, and a man whose life was a testament to love, adventure, and unwavering faith. James departed this earthly life on July 27, 2026, at his home in Lubbock, Texas, at the age of 66.
Born on June 6, 1960, in Lubbock, Texas, James was the cherished son of Pedro and Reina DeLosSantos. Predeceased by his father, he leaves behind his devoted mother, Reina, and a loving family, including his three children and six adoring grandchildren, who were the light of his life.
James was a man of numerous passions, but perhaps none more defining than his love for the open road. The rumble of his Harley and the endless horizon were his companions, and he embraced every mile as a reminder of God's magnificent creation. When he returned from his travels, his heart found solace at his ranch, where he nurtured the land with pride and found joy in the simple pleasures of life. Evenings spent with a guitar in hand, sharing music that mirrored the warmth and kindness within him, were among his most cherished moments.
A man deeply connected to nature, James felt closest to God under the vast, starlit sky. His love for camping, horseback riding across the countryside, and creating lifelong memories with his children and grandchildren defined him. To his family, he was more than a father and grandfather; he was a teacher, protector, storyteller, and the unwavering presence they could always rely upon. His greatest joy came from witnessing his family's growth, laughter, and the shared experiences of life's beauty.
James's life was a testament to his enduring faith. A man of deep spirituality, his relationship with God informed every aspect of his life. He generously shared this faith with family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know him. Through his actions, compassion, and quiet strength, James demonstrated the essence of living a life filled with grace, humility, and service to others.
As we mourn the loss of James, we find solace in recalling his legacy of love, faith, resilience, and the unforgettable memories he leaves behind. Though our hearts ache in his absence, we take comfort in knowing he now rides peaceful roads in the presence of his Lord and Savior.
James's spirit will forever linger in every sunrise over the ranch, every winding country road, every campfire shared with loved ones, and every melody played on a guitar. He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
A service to celebrate James's life will be held on August 4, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. at Iglesia de Jesus Cristo, 1532 2nd Street, Lubbock, Texas 76452.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in James's memory to a charitable organization of your choice, honoring his legacy of compassion and faith.
"Well done, good and faithful servant." – Matthew 25:23
