James was born July 4, 1982 in Carlsbad, NM and attended Carlsbad Municipal Schools.  He worked 17 years in the oil field as a mud logger, currently working for Titan Mud Logging Services.  James was the life of the party, always making people laugh.  He loved listening to music and helping anyone he could.  James enjoyed wrestling with James, Jr. and watching YouTube videos.  He was actively working on straightening out his life, planning the future with Patricia and James.  James’ laughter and practical jokes will be missed by all and a part of James will live on through his choice to be an organ donor.  He was preceded in death by his mother, Gloria Moreno; grandparents: Ben and Eva Moreno and Alfredo Ortega.
