It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of James Marando, a beloved father, son, and brother, who left us unexpectedly. James was known for his big heart, loud laugh, and unwavering love for his family and friends.
James had a passion for cars and could often be found under the hood, fixing or tuning up something—not just for himself, but for anyone who needed help. He was always willing to lend a hand, never hesitating to show up when someone was in need. His knowledge and love for cars were matched only by the care and loyalty he showed to those he loved.
To his family, James was more than just a brother and son—he was a protector, a jokester, and a constant source of warmth and strength. To his children, he was a proud and loving father who worked hard and loved even harder.
James’s memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends, who will forever cherish his humor, generosity, and love of life. Though his time with us was far too short, the impact he made on everyone who knew him will never fade.
He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his family and all who were fortunate enough to know him.
