James Todd Scholefield left this world to be with Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on February 4, 2024.  He was born in Beacon, New York on May 12, 1950.  He was 73 years old.

James is survived by his wife of 49 years, Trinidad M. Scholefield, two daughters; June Ann Scholefield and Dawn Marie Dias, 3 grandchildren; James Jacob Scholefield, Mya Renee Velazquez and Felix Felipe Velazquez.

James was a retired United States Air Force veteran.  After serving his country he enjoyed working as a ticket seller with The Branson Scenic Railway.

James was an avid reader and loved all animals.  He enjoyed his days reading, watching tv, fishing and grilling.

Jame’s stories, warmth and wisdom will be deeply missed by all that knew him.  He wasn’t just a husband, father or grandfather, he was our rock, our leader and our best friend. 

We were truly blessed to have had him in our lives for as long as God allowed.  The love and compassion he gave to us was beyond compare.

Arrangements and cremation was under the care of Greenlawn Funeral Home in Branson.  Services with military honors will be held at a later date.
