James Roger Garner
ODESSA — James Roger Garner, a servant of God and loving husband and father, has fought the good fight of faith and has taken hold of the eternal life to which he was called (I Timothy 6:12). James passed from this earthly life and into eternal life on Oct. 2, 2002, at the age of 53.
Services will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5 at Sixth and Jackson Church of Christ with Larry Roberts officiating. Interment will take place at Sunset Memorial Gardens. Pallbearers will be John Michael Christopher, Dennis Clay, Craig Echols, Pat Peeples, Craig Petrosky and Johnny Lasiter. Honorary pallbearers will be the elders and deacons of the Sixth and Jackson Church of Christ. Services have been entrusted to Hubbard Kelly Funeral Home.
James was born on Feb. 15, 1949, in Austin to Claude R. Garner and Helen Ruth Harrell Garner. The family moved to Odessa in the early 1950s.
James graduated from Permian High School in 1967. He played on the 1965 Permian High School state championship football team as a defensive end. He later graduated from Rice University, where he attended on a football scholarship.
James married
Deby Scott on Aug. 10, 1969, in Odessa, where the couple eventually raised their two children, Jamie and Jackson.
At the time of his passing, James was an employee of Huntsman, where he worked as a chemical purchasing manager.
James was preceded in death by his father. He is survived by his wife, Deby; daughter, Jamie Lyn Flowers and husband Jody Flowers of Wylie; son, Jackson Scott Garner of Odessa; mother, Helen Garner of Odessa; brother, Richard Garner and wife Montie Garner of Odessa; sister, Kay Robbins and husband Darel Robbins of Abilene; and several other loving family members.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Permian Basin Rehabilitation Center, Hospice House, or Odessa Christian School.
James began the most important part of his life, his walk with God, when he was baptized into Jesus Christ. James loved and served the church faithfully, teaching children’s and adult Bible classes, serving as a deacon, and shepherding as an elder at the Sixth and Jackson Church of Christ, where he was a lifelong member.
James also loved and served his family. Together, he and Deby helped instill in their children a love for God. James spoke proudly of Jamie and Jackson, who are now Christian adults. For example, James loved to tell how Jamie and Jackson, while in Dallas during James’ surgery, reached out and ministered to others around them in the hospital.
Perhaps the unique closeness between James, Deby, Jamie and Jackson is best described by a nurse at Hospice House who said, “I’ve never seen a family who loves each other so much. They care so much for one another.”
Throughout James’ life, and also during his illness, James and his family have clung to the promises of God, such as that found in II Timothy 4:7-8, “I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day – and not only me, but also to all who have longed for his glorious appearing.”
