James Anthony Stauffer

James Anthony Stauffer, age 64, passed away on June 26, 2026 in Cleveland, OH. Beloved son of James Raymond Stauffer and Virginia Mae Koby (both deceased). Beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle.

Jim truly loved the blues music and played both acoustic and Fender electric guitars and showcased many of his favorite blues guitarists such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Muddy Waters and Buddy Guy.

His smile always lit up the room and he was the life of the party. His backyard barbeques were legendary and always included bonfires and lots of great music playing.

He will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him.

I know your life

On earth was troubled

And only you could know the pain.

You weren't afraid to face the devil,

You were no stranger to the rain.

Go rest high on that mountain

Son, your work on earth is done.

Go to heaven a-shoutin'

Love for the Father and the Son.

Oh, how we cried the day you left us

We gathered round your grave to grieve.

I wish I could see the angels faces

When they hear your sweet voice sing.

Go rest high on that mountain

Son, your work on earth is done.

Go to heaven a-shoutin'

Love for the Father and the Son.
