Rory Schaffer Obituary
September 27, 1977 - March 16, 2023
EAGLE, Idaho - Rory "James" Schaffer, age 45, died at 137 Lakeside Dr, Newnan Georgia, struggling from PTSD.
Mr. Schaffer is survived by daughter Halie. He also had two loving parents: Chris and Denise.
James is a veteran of the Afghanistan War. For his service, he earned an Army Commendation Medal. He served honorably in the Navy, achieving the rank of Petty Officer Second Class.
James' experience in the Navy played a very important role in his life. He frequently pointed out that the Navy taught him the value of discipline, teamwork, and investing in a cause larger than himself. He would often explain to loved ones how these values contributed to his success as an HVAC technician upon returning home from Afghanistan.
James was inurned in the Columbarium Wall at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery in Boise on October 6, 2023, with full honors.
