James Robert Daniels, Sr.
September 6, 2018
James Robert (“Jim”) Daniels, Sr. went to be with the Lord on September 4, 2018, at the age of 76 due to complications following heart valve surgery. Jim was a retired project manager from Monsanto’s Pensacola Plant and a long-time resident of the Pensacola area.
Jim is survived by his wife, Connie; his children, Jim (Mary) Daniels, Jr., Tammy (Robert) Hicks, Shelly (Billy) Perkins, and Jamie (Danny) Broxson; his brother, Sal (Sadie) Genovese; his sister, Francis Genovese; 10 grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.
Jim was born in Houston, TX on January 18, 1942, to George and Dorothy Daniels. Shortly thereafter, he moved to New Orleans, LA where he grew up and spent his formative years. In 1959, he married Connie Davenport, his high school sweetheart, and soon started a family. He joined Monsanto in 1972 at their world headquarters in St. Louis, MO. Jim relocated to the Pensacola Plant in 1976, where he served as a senior project manager until his retirement in 1997.
Jim was an avid golfer and a huge sports fan. He was fun-loving and enjoyed all things New Orleans and Louisiana, including good food, good music, Saints football, and especially his beloved LSU Tigers. His “swaddling clothes” were in fact purple and gold. Jim loved spending time with his family and was often the life of the party at family gatherings. Jim loved to sing and was an active member of the choir at Gonzalez United Methodist Church. His gregarious and loving presence will be sorely missed by his friends and family.
Jim’s celebration of life will be on Saturday, September 8, 2018, in the sanctuary of Gonzalez United Methodist Church in Cantonment, FL. Friends are invited to the visitation from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.
A service of remembrance will begin at 1 p.m., with interment immediately following in the GUMC cemetery.
The Rev. Michael Ramsey and the Rev. Riley Richardson will officiate the service.
Pallbearers are Joe Genovese, Casey Genovese, Matthew Perkins, Jacob Hicks, Nathan Hicks, and Daniel Perkins.
Honorary pallbearers are Tommy Daniels and Cameron Broxson.
Faith Chapel Funeral Home North has been entrusted with arrangements.
