James is survived by his parents, Claudia and Siebe Bandringa, brother Michael and his wife Amy Bandringa and niece Kyndall of Ft Worth, aunts Sarah Phillips of Irving and Jodie Wood of Boyd , numerous cousins and friends.

James loved to ride his bike and play the guitar. He enjoyed history and planned to teach it after getting his degree. He studied photography at UT Arlington before changing majors and moving to UNT. James had a natural talent for looking at the world from a different angle and this translated into his photos. James loved the outdoors and loved to travel, visiting old historic sites and his many friends spread across the USA. He found pleasure in simple things and probably would have been happy had he been born 100 years ago.
