On March 23, 2019, James Linden Bright passed into eternity. At the time of his death, he was with his brother, Michael and Michael’s wife, Valeri. James was born November 11, 1928, in Helena, MT to Cecil Ray & Ella May Amelia (Cole) Bright. James was the third of what would become a family of fourteen children.
