James Gillis Montgomery, 55, of St. Leonard, Maryland passed away on July 16, 2015 at his home in St. Leonard, Maryland. He was born March 29, 1960 in Prince Frederick, Maryland to the Rindy P. and the late Willie Montgomery. Besides his father, James is also preceded in death by his sister, Barbara Parks, and brothers David Allen and Kenneth Willie Montgomery.

James was a hard working man, starting out in the construction field as a heavy equipment operator at a young age.  Due to his hard work and dedication he climbed the ranks to become a foreman for Reliable Contracting Company. 

His battle with Cancer ultimately forced him to retire early, but he didn't let that slow him down. Much of free time was spent with his four legged children, listening to music, and continuing to work hard on home improvement projects. James was a car and train enthusiast.  He enjoyed spending time driving his Dodge Charger, and collecting model cars and trains.  Most of all, he was loving and dedicated to his family.

James is survived by his mother, Rindy P. Montgomery and his niece Bobbi Parks.

The family will receive friends on Monday, July 20, 2015 at the Rausch Funeral Home, 4405 Broomes Island Road, Port Republic from 10:30 – 12 Noon with funeral service to be held at 12 Noon. Interment will follow in Broomes Island Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to either American Cancer Society or Calvert Hospice. Arrangements provided by Rausch Funeral Home.
