James Spencer Obituary
PITTSTON — Mr. James "Jimmy" Earl Spencer, of Pittston, passed away unexpectedly on May 16, 2020, at the age of 49, in Portland, Ore.
James is more personally known by those close to him as Jimmy. He is survived by his loving family, which includes his three sons, Jimmy, Nathan and Matthew, his future daughter-in-law, Whitney, his granddaughter, Emmalyn, his brothers, Joseph and Judson, his sisters-in-laws, Brandy and Karen, his mother, Barbara, his father, Judson and his step-mother, Carmel Anne, and his four nephews: Trisjin, Judson, Miles and Wyatt.
He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Molly and John "Blackey" Akulonis and Verna and Judson Spencer.
Jimmy was born on Sept. 2, 1970, in Kingston, to Judson and Barbara Spencer. He graduated from Seton Catholic High School in 1988. Later in life he obtained his degree in accounting from Maple Woods Community College. He worked most of his life for Keystone Automotive in Exeter, before transitioning to Kansas City, Mo., where he moved with his wife, Tina, his three sons and his younger brother, Judson.
Jimmy was a devoted father, brother and son who loved his family and the outdoors. His favorite place was at the cabin on our family land, particularly on the fourth of July.
He has people who love him deeply across the country and will be missed dearly. His love and care was given unconditionally and he always ensured the people closest to him discovered the joys in life. He loved the little things — his family and friends. It is difficult to say that he is gone, but he is loved and will always be remembered for gracing the world with the beauty of his soul.
"You went away so suddenly
We did not say goodbye
But brothers can never be parted
Precious Memories never die"

Dear Spencer Family, I am so sad to hear of Jimmys passing and I wish you all the deepest sympathy. I fondly remember Jimmy from grade school and high school and will always remember his kind heart and fun personality. He was always doing things to help the poor and he was one person who graced the world with his kind heart. The last time my husband and I saw him was at a class reunion and everyone at our table all had a blast and a fun night to remember. He will be greatly missed and we were lucky to have known him. Jimmys spirit will now soar On Eagles Wings. He and you all will be in our prayers.
