James Caggiano Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Oct. 23, 2023.
James Gary Caggiano of Phoenix, went to be with the Lord on October 18, 2023. He will be sorely missed by his wife Nancy, his children Yvonne Patterson (Mike), Michelle Feno (Phil), Renee Caggiano, Marie Bias (Joe), Michelangelo Caggiano (Kristi), brother Doug Fields and sister Diane Fields. He was adored by his grandchildren Daniel, Melissa, Sophia, Rachael, Danielle, Erin, Tyler, Elise, Michael, Matthew, Erika, Kaitlyn, Danny, 44 great grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren.

Gary was a skilled artist and painted in the tradition of the old masters. He also worked as an ironworker and was a Golden Gloves champion boxer.

It is difficult to describe the rare gem that was Gary. He was loving, charismatic, funny and had many friends. But the most important quality was the way he reflected the character of God in the way he loved people and his family.

Celebration of life service will be on Saturday October 28, at 2:00PM at Apollo Baptist Church, 11611 N 51st Ave Glendale, AZ 85304. Burial will be on Monday October 30, at 1:00PM at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona, 23029 N Cave Creek Rd. Condolences may be expressed at www.whitneymurphyfuneralhome.com.

Gary was a Godly man who loved his family and friends.
His smile and kindness will be missed by all who knew him. " By your fruit you shall be known" his children took amazing and loving care of him. On earth he left a family of several generations of wonderful people. I was proud to have known such a good man. A beautiful voice has been added to the choir of angels and archangels.

I love you so much! You are my hero, my role model and everything I could have ever dreamed of for a father! Thank you for everything you have done for me. I am so happy you are rejoicing In heaven right now. That is the only thing that keeps me going. You were a good and faithful servant. I so wish I could have heard God say that to you but I know he did. Thank you Daddy.
