In addition to his parents and birth mother, he was preceded in death by daughter, Teresa Renee MacDonald, brother Glenn (Mary) Dunford, sisters Linda and Marie Banks, second wife Betty Booth MacDonald and stepson, Mickey Booth.

James loved going to church, serving the Lord. He also loved his church and spending time with his church family. He enjoyed listening to music and collected old records.

James is survived by his daughter Sherry Lynn MacDonald of Switzer, sister Ruby Ann Banks of West Liberty, KY, brothers Gary Banks and Bobby Banks of Manchester, KY, former sister-in-law, Billie Pyatt of Logan, who he was still close to, and considered his family, and grandson, Seth Browning of Hillsboro, OH.
