February 15, 1946 — September 22, 2023

James Smoot, born on February 15, 1946, peacefully passed away on September 22, 2023. He will be fondly remembered as a beloved member of the Angleton community where he made a lasting impact throughout his life. James was a proud life member of the Angleton Masonic Lodge #829 AF&AM and dedicated his time to various service organizations.


In his professional life, James owned and operated J&S Welding Services and Smooties Bar in Angleton, Texas. His hard work and dedication were unmatched, leaving a lasting legacy in the local business community. After a successful career, James retired from the Brazoria County Mosquito Control Department where he made significant contributions in his role.


Beyond his professional accomplishments, James had a passion for the outdoors. He found joy in flounder and dove hunting, spending countless hours in nature and creating cherished memories. However, it was his genuine and caring nature that truly defined him. James valued his relationships and considered his many friends to be his family, always placing their importance above all else.


James is survived by his beloved wife, Carolyn White Smoot, his son, Stephen McBeth, brother David Smoot, his mother, Martha Robinson, brother Fred Smoot (wife, Donna), and sister Cecilia Adams (husband, David).
