James P. LaChance

It is with deep sadness and much love that we announce the passing of our beloved dad. He was a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, a loyal friend and someone who truly embraced life's simple joys.

 He felt most at home on the water. Whether he was boating on a sunny day, enjoying the peacefulness of the open water, or sharing stories and laughter with those around him, being on the water brought him happiness and a sense of freedom. Those moments reflected who he was – calm, welcoming, and appreciative of life’s beauty.

Above all else, he cherished his family and friends. He had a kind heart, a warm smile and a gift for making everyone feel valued and loved. He was happiest when surrounded by the people who meant the most to him, creating memories that will be treasured forever.

His love, wisdom and gentle spirit leave an enduring legacy in the hearts of all who knew him. Though he will be deeply missed, we take comfort in knowing that his memory lives on in every family gathering, every shared laugh, and every peaceful day spent on the water.

He leaves behind a lifetime of love and countless memories that will forever remind us of the wonderful man he was. May he rest peacefully, with calm waters and fair winds always at his side.

A Celebration of Life will be held in early September and the date will be shared prior to the event.  Please continue to check this website for updates.
