This Page is dedicated to the memory of James Bean

James passed away on January 2, 2005. He died in a house fire while attempting to rescue his dogs along with the other people sleeping throughout the home. He was born May 3, 1968 in Corpus Christi, TX and graduated from Prague High School in 1986. He attended OU and UCO, majoring in Art. For more than a decade, James was an antique dealer and estate liquidator in Oklahoma City and surrounding communities. He owned James Bean Antiques in Nichols Hills and Absolute Estate Liquidations by James Bean. His father, Leaford Bean, and his mother, Bernice Bean, preceded James in death. James is survived by many close friends and thousands of acquaintances and customers. James' friends were his family and he was never alone and he was always surrounded by those who loved him the most. He was a man who loved many and was a friend to those when they needed a friend the most, and with his passing he has been deeply missed.
