James Ransaw passed away at 84 after living a simple and beautiful life. He was a devoted family man, husband, father, brother, grandfather. Although his formal education was short, he was able to raise his children to be an asset to society by participating in vital roles in the armed forces and encouraged their educational achievements in nursing, physical therapy, and a Chief Master Sergeant in the United Air Force.
