An avid dancer that loved to "cut the rug", James enjoyed playing the Jew's harp and listening to Old Country and Bluegrass music. He also loved the outdoors... hunting, fishing or just relaxing under a shade tree and drinking a cold beer. Above all, he loved his "large" family very much. James is survived by his children, Jeannie (Estel) Stone of New Antioch, Michael (Fern) Huston of Sabina, Donna (Mark) Pariseau of Wilmington, and Russell Huston of Martinsville; numerous grand, great grand, and great-great grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his wife Shirley Jean Huston; daughter, Debbie St John; son, Joey Kerns; and numerous grandchildren.
