James Bush

James had an eclectic mix of hobbies throughout the years. He spent 12 years beekeeping at their home in Holly, giving all his friends and neighbors homemade honey. He was always a coin collector, a gardener of vegetables and strawberries, and recently a painter of small statues. He adored his family and spending time with them. One of his favorite things to do was to take his wife ballroom dancing. As a bookworm and history buff, whenever he was traveling with his family he would give a history lesson of the day, knowing something interesting about everywhere they went.

James is the beloved husband of 52 years to Mary A. Bush. The loving father of Darcey L. Bush, the late James E. Bush Jr., and Debbie A. (Bob) Demo. The devoted grandfather of Justin C. (Bethany) Emery, Robert C. Emery, and Tyler D. Demo. The cherished great grandfather of Eryne Emery and the late Audrey Emery. Proud great great grandfather of Ava. James is preceded in death by his siblings Letcher S. Bush, Robbie C. Massey, Walter M. Bush, and Carrie N. Hale. He is survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family, and dear friends.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, December 28, from 12pm until the time of the funeral service at 3pm at A.H. Peters Funeral Home, 32000 Schoenherr Road, in Warren, Michigan. James will be laid to rest at Great Lakes National Cemetery, in Holly, Michigan.
