James Albert Durham Jr.'s Obituary
James Albert Durham Jr. was born in Brooklyn, New York, on September 16, 1969, to James Albert Durham Sr. and Irene Deloris Kemp Durham. He later moved to Texas in 2006 to be closer to his mother and sisters. James had some hard times during his short time on this earth, BUT he knew he was truly loved by everyone he came into contact with. James had the ability to make you laugh regardless of the situation. He would make you laugh so hard you would bend over crying, telling him to stop. As far as I know, he loved us, and he loved his two daughters with everything he had. If he were not with them, when he spoke to you, his first words would have something to do with his daughters.
James leaves to mourn: His mother, Irene Durham; His daughters, Jasmine Faith Durham and Jada Monique Durham. His spouse, Melinda Lane. His sisters: Theresa A. Kendrick, Lois J. Stewart, Shelia Durham, Lillian Durham, Destiny Durham, Quadiedra Durham, Pearl Durham, and Octaivia Durham. His brothers, Victor Durham, Isaiah Durham, and Evan Durham. He leaves behind six nieces and nephews: Theresa A. Hendrick, Tanya L. Atkins, Anthony J. Durham, Tyahaneisha L. Mitchell, NaQuan D. Kendrick, and Tierra N. Stewart. Great nieces and nephews, Daniel A. Putmon, Tyler D. Mitchell, Daniya L. Atkins, Daysha L. Atkins, and Dwayne T. Atkins, with a host of aunts, cousins, brother-in-law, and friends.
