In Memory of
James W. Blasdel
January 12, 1935 - August 5, 2017
James Wesley Blasdel passed away on Saturday, August 5, 2017 in Houston, Texas at the age of 81. He fought a battle for many years with COPD and other health issues.
James is survived by his sister, Nan Shelton formerly of Fort Worth, Texas and presently of New Orleans, Louisiana, his sons and families: Michael Wesley Blasdel, wife Julia, and twin daughters Jessicah and Savannah of Edmond, Oklahoma; James Alan Blasdel, wife Jessica, son Sebastian, and daughter Emma of Weston, Florida; Joe Daniel Blasdel, wife Victoria, daughters Michelle and Lia, and son Dominic of Lima, Peru.
James was preceded in death by his wife, Linda H. Blasdel, parents, Joe G. and Lena Blasdel, and brother, Joe Richard Blasdel.
James was born in Sugarland, Texas on December 21, 1935. He grew up in Richmond, Texas, became an Eagle Scout, and graduated from Lamar Consolidated High School. He attended Sam Houston State University and then went on to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Petroleum Engineering from Texas Tech in 1961. James started working for Phillips Petroleum in 1961 as a Petroleum Engineer. He continually developed his skills and served as a Drilling & Production Engineer, Reservoir Engineer, Operations Manager, and on positions in Senior Management. James’ successful career led to him residing in England, Libya, Nigeria, Peru, Indonesia, Oklahoma, and Texas. In “retirement” James operated his own petroleum consulting company that took him all over the world.
James enjoyed lake life and water sports, especially fishing with his sons and grandchildren. He loved cooking for and entertaining his family and many friends, which he did frequently. A typical engineer, he always had many projects to work on and no detail was too small. With small groups, James could be found playing dominoes or darts, or sitting by the pool with a cold beer. An avid sports fan, his favorite teams were the Astros, Texans, Texas Tech Red Raiders, Oklahoma State Cowboys, and Miami Hurricanes.
At James’ request he will be cremated and have no formal funeral services. A memorial donation in his name may be made to the COPD Foundation at copdfoundation.org.
