James “Jim” Morgan Coney III, age 73, passed away May 15, 2019. He was born October 5, 1945 in New Orleans, Louisiana to James (Jimmy) and Clare (Nolan) Coney.
Jim grew up in New Orleans where he attended St. Aloysius, now Brother Martin. He went on to attend Louisiana State University and became a lifelong fan bleeding purple and gold through and through. He also was a proud member of the Air Force Reserve. Jim had a very long and successful career at Texaco in Houston, Texas where he was an executive in Strategic Human Resources and corporate benefits for over 35 years until his retirement.
Jim was an avid sports fan and had an excellent bowling and golf game. He loved to share stats and stories with his friends and family and always knew the latest rankings, especially when it involved LSU. Jim had several favorite personal sports achievements, one being bowling a perfect 300 and appearing on a bowling television show. Another highlight was his hole-in-one at the Rancho San Joaquin golf course in Irvine, California while visiting his parents. Jim had a dry sense of humor that drew people in and could always be counted on for anything related to his family. He loved his family deeply and he is greatly missed by all that knew him and called him a friend.
Jim is survived by his sisters, Kathleen Coney of Houston, Texas and Karen Coney Mathews of Georgetown, Texas; his nephew Philip James Battaglia and wife Kelly of Houston, Texas; nieces Kristin Dent Rathbun and husband Ben of Houston, Texas, Marissa Mathews Kelly and husband Kirk of Fort Worth, Texas; great nieces and nephews, Taylor Battaglia and son Jace, Zachary Battaglia, Mallory Battaglia, Austin Rathbun and wife Jordon, Ethan Rathbun, Kanon Kelly and Clare Kelly; and cousin and best friend Jackie Diket Smith of Gretna, Louisiana.
He was preceeded in death by his father, James Morgan Coney Jr; mother, Clare Nolan Coney; and baby brother, Nolan George Coney.
