James Stuck, "Jim", age 68 of Dayton, passed away Wednesday, December 18, 2019 after a long illness. He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Mary Stuck, two brothers: Paul Stuck and Thomas Stuck, and his beloved dog, Kicker. Jim is survived by his wife of 38 years, Miriam (Barkalow) Stuck, numerous nieces and nephews, cherished cousins, and many friends he considered family. He was a 1969 graduate of Fairmont West High School and his love of racing, music, and the Oakland Raiders was well-known among his friends.
