James will be deeply missed by all who loved them.

What James loved
Grandchildren

It is with sorrow and gratitude that we mark the passing of James Lee Davis of Coquille, OR — sorrow at the loss, gratitude for the life.

What we offer here is gratitude wrapped in remembrance.

James spent his working life as ['logger and timber cutter'] — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.

Some doors close softly, and still leave the room changed.
