Obituary for HS3 James Albert Cottrell We are saddened to announce the passing of James “Jim” Albert Cottrell (some knew him as "TEX") after a long struggle with cancer at the age of 60. James was born on November 2, 1960 in San Antonio, Texas. He is preceded in death by his parents, James Bush and Clara Mae Cottrell. James is survived by his loving daughter Jamie Cottrell and spouse Susan Cottrell; beloved sister, Michelle Rauschuber; niece (bonus daughter) Brigitte Rauschuber; nephew, David Rauschuber and other numerous extended family and friends. James graduated from John Marshall High School in San Antonio, Texas in 1979, where he was voted “most spirited” and given the nickname of Slim. He continued his legacy of being “most spirited” by never missing a high school reunion and followed the Rams football team year after year. Upon graduating from high school, he proudly served in the United States Coast Guard as a medic for 11 years. After serving in the Coast Guard, he worked at Lab Corp as a phlebotomist up until his passing. James loved his family deeply and unconditionally. One of his favorite things to do each year was to play Santa at the annual Caldwell Christmas Eve gathering. He committed 100% to being the best Santa and even used super glue to hold the beard in place. James often found solace and peace in Rockport, Texas, where he grew up fishing the waters of Aransas Bay. James was also known for his creativity and has built many model train layouts and was a part SANTRAK – San Antonio N-TRAK Train Club. Those who knew James knew that he was never a stranger but a friend to all. We will always carry his memory in our hearts. James’ service will be held at 11:15 AM on Thursday, April 29, 2021 at Fort Sam Houston with military honors. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society or SANTRAK-San Antonio N-TRAK Train Club. To send flowers or a memorial gift to the family of James Albert Cottrell please visit our Sympathy Store.
