James Venters Obituary
October 31, 1964 -
May 25, 2025
Our beloved father and husband James Andre Venters passed away at Fort Walton Beach on May 25th, 2025 at the age of 60.
He was preceded in death by his father: Jimmy Venters.
James is survived by wife Christy Venters; sons: Andy (Jennifer) Venters; Adam (Lindsay) Venters; Noah (Emily) Venters; Tyler Venters; Phillip (Chayna) Parton; daughter: Jennah Venters Cassell. Grandchildren: Charlie Cassell, Elsie Cassell, Millie Parton, Caleb Scott, Luke Scott, Beau and Rigby Venters. Mother: Cleda Faye Venters and siblings: John (Delia) Venters, Margie Venters, Kathy (Hassen) Dean. And many nieces and nephews.
He was born in Chateauroux Air Force Base, France on October 31, 1964.
His childhood in Indian Springs instilled a lifelong passion for carpentry and he loved to speak about it with anyone who would listen. One of his first jobs was making stained glass and he continued that as a hobby. He was an active dad who was at everything his kids did and supported their passions.
James and Christy first met when their boys were playing baseball. We had a love for family and our kids and we bonded over those important aspects of our lives. We loved spending time together and with family. James always took care of his family and he loved them fiercely. James and Christy spent a lot of time planning projects and trips. They continued to share this throughout their long and happy marriage.
Visitation with his family will be Thursday, June 5, 2025 from 4:00 until 6:00 PM at East Lawn Funeral Home with funeral services to follow at 6:00. Graveside services will be held at 10:00 AM on Friday, June 6, 2025 at East Lawn Memorial Park.

I´m very sorry for your loss. James was a great friend in high school with many good memories. We only recently reconnected with each other this past year. I live next door to where he worked and stopped in several times to catch up on things when I saw him out. He will be greatly missed.
