James Hagens Edmonds, age 84, of Odessa passed away on Thursday, June 28, 2012, surrounded by his family and loved ones after a brief illness.

Hagens loved the game of golf. He spent many weekends playing with his golf buddies at Sunset Country Club but his greatest joy was golfing with Mom in couples tournaments throughout West Texas area and playing with his son.
