James Royce Isenhower, age 74, passed from this life on Saturday, June 2, 2018, at Eastland Memorial Hospital in Eastland, TX. He was born in Putnam, TX to John D. and Roberta Isenhower on October 24, 1943.
James graduated from Putnam High School in 1961 and from ACU in May of 1964. He married Gayle (Burnam) Isenhower on February 14, 1964. After graduation, he went to work for the Soil Conservation and in 1966 went to work for the Federal Land Bank, now called Farm Credit Services, where he worked until his retirement on December 31, 2010. He worked for the Federal Land Bank for over 45 years. James was a rancher all his life and full-time rancher after retirement, along with his two sons and grandson. James was a hard-working man who enjoyed working with the boys and loved working in his garden. He was “Dadaw” to several of the youth in Callahan community and not only did he make a huge impression in many of their lives, they held a special place in his heart as well. He was a huge supporter of the grandkids sports, adored them dearly, loved helping them and was a role model to so many of the young men throughout the community. A very special man left this earth on Saturday and will be remembered by many for his kind heart, contagious smile and the impact he made on so many lives.
