James Deacon

James Lee Deacon was born in the upper peninsula of Michigan in the little community of Escanaba. He passed away peacefully at his home in Venus, Texas, Friday, November 8, 2024. James joined the Navy in 1987 and moved to the Navel Air Station in Lemoore, California (only because he thought it was near the ocean-(boy was he surprised !), working as an aircraft mechanic . That first year he went to Magic Mountain with friends and while riding rides, he met Pamela Meyer, and a romance began right away. They eventually married in 1999 in Las Vegas, Nevada. After three years in the Navy, James was discharged and did various occupations. He then went back to school and got his AA as an HVAC mechanic. He was hired on with a private residential HVAC company as a HVAC mechanic in California. He and Pamela have many friends from their years in California, but when they got an opportunity to move to Texas six years ago because of an HVAC opening in Dallas, they happily made the move to a country home in Venus. He was employed by a variety of companies but eventually landed back at Almcoe as a field supervisor, and has been there ever since. James was a highly appreciated, knowledgeable, hard working employee at Almcoe. Son, Jaron Allen was born in 1990 and baby sister Erica Marie followed 13 years later in 2003. He is survived by his loving wife, Pamela, and daughter, Erica, both of Venus. And son Jaron, of Houston, brother Jack Deacon and sister-in-law Melissa of Clarksville, Tennessee, and sister Jennifer Deacon of Greenbay, Wisconsin and mother-in-law, Nancy Meyer of Mansfield. James will be very missed by his family and a host of California friends and Texas co-workers. In lieu of any flowers, etc. we ask donations be made to Little Angels Service Dogs 🐕‍🦺.
