Daniel Miles James, Jr.

Border Patrol Agent Daniel James succumbed to injuries received one month earlier in an automobile crash while attempting to stop suspected illegal immigrants south of Freer, Texas.

While Agent James and his partner were turning around, their vehicle struck a dip in the road, causing it to flip over on County Road 429 one mile north of FM 716. Agent James was thrown from the vehicle and pinned between it and a fence. He was transported to a local hospital where he was hospitalized until passing away.

Agent James had served with the United States Border Patrol for three years and was assigned to the Freer Border Patrol Station in the Laredo Sector. He was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran of Operation Desert Storm. He is survived by his wife, two children, and his parents.

Hello Daniel, I had the opportunity to stop by at the site of the accident yesterday, 4/2724. I took my wife and young son with me as it was a very important day for us to visit the location.
I was privileged to have you assigned to me as my Silent Partner. I was happy and amazed on how many of your love share their beautiful memories of how Great of a man you were.
I continue to carry you on my left breast pocket since the academy, Class 1228-A. You are always with me and I appreciate you.
I left one of my BP hats and my class coin on the site. It will not be my last visit. Thank you Daniel for helping me getting through the Academy.
