James Rasor, of Trophy Club, Texas, passed away on May 23, 2020 at his home. He will always be remembered as a hard-working, honest husband, father, and grandfather who loved and provided for his family. He was born Silas James Rasor on October 28, 1932 in Lamar County, Texas to Dallas James and Susie Rasor.
After serving for two years in the Army, James moved to the DFW area and began his lifelong career as a housepainter. He and a partner opened R&S Painting in Irving, Texas in 1958. The company grew to be one of the top 10 painting contractors in the nation. James began cattle ranching in 1969, buying ranches in Wise and Jack Counties.
