James (Jimmy) Anthony Capodanno of Sebring and Jupiter, Florida passed away peacefully on August 25, 2025 in his home where he resided with his loving wife, Susanne, of over 32 years and their lovable dog, Alfie. Jimmy was born on October 30, 1956 in Wilmington, Delaware to Fiorendino A. Capodanno and Elizabeth T. Connor Capodanno.
He is survived by his wife, Susanne Capodanno; son, Ross Anthony Capodanno; mother, Elizabeth Lipstein; father, Fiorendino Capodanno; step-mother, Catherine C. Capodanno; sisters, Catherine Capodanno, Sharon Marconi, and Tia-Marie Capodanno; brother, Geofree Capodanno; nieces, Lauren Todd and Katherine Grebe; and brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Michael and Mary Griesemer, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members and countless friends. He was predeceased in death by his stepfather, Fred Marconi, and his nephew and godson, Jamie Todd.
Jimmy was a voracious short-story author, an avid pickleball player, a motorcyclist, a boater, a fisherman, and more recently, a slot car racing enthusiast. He also loved to travel with his wife and was proud to have visited more than 70 countries around the world. A graduate of Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, Massachusetts, he went on to earn an MBA from California Coast University.
Jimmy was a man of faith, bigger than life, committed to family, quick with a smile, a laugh, and a passion to make anyone he encountered feel valued and loved. He had a gift for storytelling that carried from his professional life into his creative writing, and a charisma that filled every room. Above all, he built community and joy wherever he went.
Simply put, he was one of a kind, a husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend whose warmth, humor, and generosity of spirit will live on in the countless lives he touched.
