James H. "Jim" Dunigan, of Inverness/Floral City, passed away peacefully at his home under Vitas Hospice care on Sunday, August 3, 2025. He was 80 years old.

Jim was born in Lakewood, NJ to Francis "Frank" and Edna (Yard) Dunigan and raised in Toms River, NJ. He served a brief stint in the United States Air Force and was honorably discharged in 1965.

He had a lifelong love of cars and was known as a jack of all trades and consummate handy man. He was a very active member of his church, Calvary Church of Inverness. He will be missed greatly by all who knew him.
