James was born in Garland, Texas. His parents were Christine Nether and James Melvin Bagley. He graduated from Dublin High School in 1973. James started out in the oil field for 10 years as an Oil Exploration Surveyor with mathematical abilities. He had a passion for classic cars and hot rods that led to him being an auto dealer for most of his life. When he was not buying and selling automobiles he was working on his ranch. In his free time, he liked to go to concerts, take trips to the beach, hit a backroad, or spend quality time with friends and family.

James is preceded in death by his mother Christine (Tina) Nether, his father James Melvin Bagley, his brother Wayne Dosier, his aunt and uncle Mildred and Mike Spann, his grandparents James Polk and Myra Bagley, Dorothy and Herman Boyt.
