James was a Mason and a member of the American Legion, VFW and the Nocona Rural Fire Dept. James is the only person who used the word dirtbag as a term of endearment. He was the king of the one-liners like when he answered the phone “What?” James would do anything for anybody, he would give the shirt off his back. He would even fail the eighth grade so that he could be in the same class as his friend. According to KJ he is the best driver for bug catching.
James Carminati was a one of kind guy and he will be missed.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Betty Tompkins Carminati; his parents and brother, Joey B. Samples.
James is survived by his wife for the last 24 years, Sereita Giaketti; daughters, Julie Carminati and Amy Carminati and her partner Krystal Hamm; daughters, Lavonne Carpenter and husband Scott and Jamie Baen; sisters, Metta Burleson and husband Elton and Mary Ritchie and husband Randy; grandchildren, Emily Carminati and fiance Dakota Keck, Erin Carminati-Linn and fiance Nathan O’Dell, Shelby Barker and husband Tyler, Scotty Carpenter and wife Kendall, Zayde Bensellam, Lyla Bensellam, Jaxon Baen and Jeager Baen and great-grandchildren, Kevin James Sowell, Brice and Sadie Carpenter.
In lieu of flowers, memorials can be sent to Nocona Rural Fire Department Fireman’s Toy Box, P.O. Box 55 Nocona, Texas 76255.

August 18, 1963 – September 26, 2024
SPRINGTOWN – Jim Bob Fain, 61, passed away on Sept. 26, 2024 after battling complications from a stroke and heart failure.
As he rides off into the sunset, reunited with those who have gone before him, we invite you to a celebration of Jim Bob’s life at 11 a.m. on Oct. 2 at the Cooke County Cowboy Church located at 8207 Hwy 82 East, Gainesville, followed by a meal.
Born in Clay County on Aug. 18, 1963, Jim Bob Fain was born to Charles Alfred Fain and Gloria Ann Gray. He was the oldest of seven children.
Jim Bob was known as a hard worker and a reliable friend to many. His easy-going nature and gift for conversation were legendary—he could strike up a chat with just about anyone, anytime. He had a love for country life, horses and classic country music. He also had a reputation for being incredibly frugal, often joking that he was so tight he squeaked when he walked. His knack for finding a deal was unmatched, and it became a trait his family and friends fondly remember with a smile.
He is survived by his only son, Casey Fain and wife Jenny Fain. He was a proud grandfather to his five grandsons, Knox, Fritz, Theo, Othniel and Veran.
The family kindly requests that donations be made to the Cowboy Church in his honor, in lieu of flowers.
