James was a devoted family man, having shared a life filled with love and laughter with his beloved wife, Catherine Francis. Their journey together began in April 2011, culminating in a joyous marriage on October 11, 2014. Their union was described as both chaotic and magical, a testament to the deep and abiding love they shared. James was a proud and loving father to his daughters, Hailey and Shelby, who, along with their spouses and children, brought immense joy to his life. He was predeceased by his sons, Freddy and Jeremy Francis, who remain forever in our hearts.
