James Ellis Ticer, age 82, passed away peacefully in his home on September 26, 2026. Born on September 10, 1944, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, James devoted his life to God and his family. He proudly served his country in the United States Army, carrying a spirit of honor and dedication throughout his life. An avid outdoorsman and sports enthusiast, James found great joy in golfing, fishing, hunting, and, above all, spending cherished time with his loved ones. 

James is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Wanda K. Ticer (fondly known as "Nana"); his parents; and his sister. 

His legacy of love lives on through his surviving family, including his children: Traci Kuhn Lowe, Gina Thibodeaux and husband Mike, James Samuel Ticer and wife Linda, and Emily Magda and husband Stephen. He is also survived by his 2 brothers, 14 grandchildren, and 21 great-grandchildren. .

James touched the lives of everyone who had the honor of knowing him. His selflessness, warmth, and generous spirit will be remembered forever. He leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and compassion
that lives on in all of us.
