He was born on February 1, 1947 in Monroe,
Oklahoma to Pervie Rosetta (Mitchell) Daniel and Alvin Daniel and
passed away on September 2, 2022 in Poteau, Oklahoma. He was preceded
in death by his parents; Alvin and Pervie Daniel; sisters, Ella Lee
Bowles, Nancy Loraine Wood; and granddaughter, Ashley Walker.
James
was the oldest of five children, he graduated from Howe High School in
1965, and drafted by the United States Army in 1966. He was a trucker in
the 7th Army, stationed in Mannheim, Germany, and was honorably
discharged in 1972.
He married Marsha Ruth Haynie in June 1970, together they had two children, James Coleman, Jr. and Sonja Gayle.
He met Lois in 2012 and they made their home in Wister until 2016 when they moved to Poteau.
James
was a truck driver by trade, working for OK Farms for 37 years. He
drove long hauls over a number of states before transferring to the live
haul office in 2004, where he worked until his retirement at the age of
72 in 2019.
If James was not aggravating someone, he probably did
not like them. He was always picking on his kids, grandkids, and just
about anyone he came in contact with.
He was known by his nickname,
Whiskey, which he came by honestly from his famous moonshine making
days. He was best at smoking food, especially brisket and ribs, at the
family reunions. He was a hard worker, never met a stranger, and leaves a
legacy that will not be forgotten.
Survivors include his wife,
Lois Vinson of the home; sons, Jim Daniel and wife Kim of Sachse, Texas,
Heath Walker of Fort Smith, Arkansas, Shawn Walker of Greenwood,
Arkansas; daughters, Sonja Ray and husband Steven of Madill, Oklahoma,
