Sunday, April 25, 2021 James Alton Garrison, Jr., age 84, of Kyle, Texas passed away on Friday, April 16, 2021. He was born in Houston, Texas on November 20, 1936 to James Alton Garrison, Sr. and Pearl Aurelia Runnels Garrison. During his childhood the family moved to the Rio Grande Valley where his father owned a hotel in Port Isabel, long before South Padre Island was developed. Rather than head to the beach, James headed to the Brush Country. He was a Cowboy, a Horseman, a S. Texas Quail Hunter and so much more. Family and friends recall his stories of “gathering” cattle from the brush country, where a cowboy worked through three horses in a day spanning over 14 hours, or more.
