Brian was born on April 11, 1954 in Oneida, NY to Rosemary Hurrle and Randle James. He attended school in Oneida and held various jobs throughout his life. He was a jack of all trades, master of none! Brian will be remembered for his sense of humor and willingness to always help anyone in need. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
Brian is survived by his loving companion of 25 years, Kathleen Jason; his brother, Garry James and Kareen Hartwell, of Norwich; his sister, Brianna and Steve Rogers, of Rome, NY; his son, Brian A. James, Jr., of Oneida; his grandchildren, Alexis, Aaron, Alesia, Tyler, Khloe, and Giovanni; many nieces and nephews also survive. Brian was predeceased by his parents, his son, Craig James; and his sister, Gail Garcia.
Brian will be laid to rest next to his mother at St. Patrick’s Cemetery in Oneida where a graveside service will be held at a future date.
