James Howard Red Godwin, Sr. of Livingston, Texas passed away Monday April 2, 2012 after a courageous fight against Parkinsons disease and Dementia.
Born in Pineapple, Florida, on March 31, 1924 to John and Elizabeth Godwin. He was a Christian who was quick to acknowledge that his many life accomplishments and blessings were gifts from his Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. The greatest of these blessings was the sixtyfive years spent with the love of his life, Flora.
James was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was a carpenter and insulator by trade, but in his retirement years he spent many hours tending his gardens and just enjoying the outdoors. He was an avid deer and elk hunter in his favorite place, the mountains of Colorado. James is survived by his daughter, Liz Mabry and husband Byron son, James Howard Godwin, Jr. Mack grandchildren, Mark Spurgeon, wife Renee and his children, Chelsea and Matt, Brad Spurgeon, wife Townley Children, Joey, Ryan and Bradley, Tommy Godwin, wife sherry and his children, Ricky Jo, Tyler and Bella, Daryl Godwin, wife Jennifer and his daughter, Macey sister, Velma Johnson of Greenville, Alabama sisterinlaw, Dorothy Aldridge of Livingston, Texas. Preceding him in death are James ten brothers and sisters in Alabama.
