Obituary of James Albert Bush

James A. Bush (1942 – 2020) On April 26, 2020, Jim passed away after a courageous battle with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a rare but merciless foe. Joan, his wife of 54 years, was by his side through it all. Jim was born in Dallas in 1942. He attended Grand Prairie High School, where he made many lifelong friends who probably still have some colorful stories to share. Jim was a talented artist who worked as a graphic designer for local sign companies for more than 40 years. He was a train enthusiast, particularly of the Santa Fe variety, and would frequently chase trains with his best friend, John Lenheiser. He is survived by his wife Joan; his son John (and wife Heidi); his daughter Julie (and husband Steve); his son Jamie; his grandchildren Jillian and Caroline; and his siblings Debie (Ken), Steve (Jennifer), and Boyd (Sharon). Due to current Covid-related limitations on social gatherings, a celebration of Jim’s life will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Advocates for Special People, a local charitable organization for people with developmental disabilities in Arlington that was dear to Jim’s heart: www.AdvocatesForSpecialPeople.org/donate
