James was born on December 4, 1946 in Madisonville, TX to Ellis B. and Vada Costella (Maddox) Jarvis. He served his country in The United States Army and worked in the construction industry for over fifty years. He was instrumental in the design of some of the most successful formwork systems in the industry. James was involved with many complicated projects all over the United States. His ability to meet contractor needs with engineering designs and solutions was something that he took great pride in. James was well known and respected throughout the country; his fifty years of knowledge will be sorely missed.
