James C. McKlem Jr.

James McKlem Jr. saw his last sunrise on July 29, 2025. He was 65 years old when he surcomed to cancer.  

James (known as Jimmy to our family) was survived by his sisters and brothers, and many nieces and nephews, aunt and uncle, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Geraldine McKlem, along with his niece, Jennifer Jones and nephew, Kyle Niner.

Jimmy worked hard all his life. He had his own business repairing appliances, and moving furniture. He seemed to really enjoy "fixing anything broken". He was the first person we called for any car or appliance problems. He was always willing to help! We will miss you. Rest in peace!

There will be a funeral mass held in his memory. Location / time is listed below.
