Jim McDermott

On Sunday, June 30th, Jim McDermott, 64,  bid farewell to this world to join his much-missed family; parents: Carol and Sham, and brothers: Dan and Kyle. He is survived by his sister, Kendra.

Jim's younger years were filled with humorous moments and shenanigans. Many would find themselves on the receiving end of a spider ring he had cleverly hidden, or being called upon to star in one of his creative and hilarious skits. He would often be found laughing and reminiscing with his family and friends in the den of their family home.

Jim temporarily moved to upstate New York where he spent time with his beloved grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins. It was in New York where he decided to follow in his dad's footsteps and hone his skills as a machinist.  His days were filled with joyful outings with family, and on occasion, mischievous capers with his cousins.

Jim's kindness and big heart were evident to all who knew him. He dedicated years of his life caring for his mom and Aunt Gloria, and he often made time for those close to him. 

Jim also loved the outdoors. His passion for new adventures created a lifetime of beautiful memories, not only for Jim, but for friends and family who were fortunate to join him. 

Jim was most at peace when hiking a scenic trail in the woods, or camping near a beautiful lake. We're comforted in knowing he is now free to explore the endless trails that await him.

A combined celebration of life for Carol, Jim, and Kyle McDermott will be planned at a later date.
