Tommy Oliver James
Tommy Oliver James, a resident of Friendswood, Texas, passed away on December 27, 2020. Tom, as everyone new him, was born on August 12, 1941 in Texarkana, Texas to the late Isaac (Ike) and Veleria Wall James.
He lived his life as a child in Palestine, Texas and then moved to Houston as a teenager.
Tom was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the United States Army Corps of Engineers and served in the Vietnam War where he earned the Bronze Star and Army Medal of Commendation for meritorious service from 1967-68.
Tom spent the majority of his working career with Fluor Global where he traveled the world and made lifelong friendships. He was an avid fisherman and hunter and loved the outdoors. His wish is to have his ashes scattered over the small lake on property he and his wife own in Yorktown, Texas.
Tom is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Susan. Son Douglas James, daughter and son-in-law, Suzy and Brent Caudill, daughter Christi James and son Mark James, grandchildren Kevin James, Ben Caudill, Ava Janczak and Cohen Janczak. He leaves behind lifelong friend, David Billingsley, his cousin, Phil Wilson, and his brother-in-law Tommy Gust who he loved as his brothers.
The family is so thankful for the wonderful care Tom received by all the healthcare professionals in the ICU at Houston Methodist Clear Lake as he bravely fought and finally lost the battle with COVID-19.
There will be a private memorial service later next year as the times shift with more certainty.
In lieu of flowers, feel free to give to a charity of your choice. Tom loved and supported No Kid Hungry.
