James A. Abrahamson 62 passed away on June 19, 2025. Surrounded by his loving Family. He was the loving husband of Sharon A. (Marchak) Abrahamson, his wife of 13 years. Born in Providence, he was the son of the late William R. and Shirley A. (Howland) Abrahamson.Jim was a plumber for 30 years. Jim loved his clients, and they became more than just customers, they became longtime friends. Jim was quick to lend a helping hand or just share his knowledge. Jim had a love for camping and playing cards. There wasn't a card game that he did not know and if someone just mentioned the word cards, his head spun around and said deal them up. He loved the ocean and loved spending time at Frye Island, ME. Jim loved all kinds of music (well except Country) especially the Eagles and Stevie Nicks. He was kind to all animals, would talk to the frogs at night in his backyard. Jim had a love for puppies and loved to have the liters just so he could play with them and love on them. Jim said that he did not have favorites, but if you knew Jim, his love for Maggie Baby Girl was never matched by any other.
Besides his wife Sharon, Jim is survived by his two brothers, William Abrahamson from AZ, and David Abrahamson of Warwick RI, his sister Shirley Abrahamson of Warwick RI and the late Cathy Abrahamson. He is survived by his two daughters, Dorothy Abrahamson of TN and Sarah Abrahamson of FL, his stepsons Richard Abrahamson of Florida and Steven Huddleston of Johnston RI. Jim has 5 Grand Children. Jim adored his niece, Mary Kate Stewart, and nephew Liam Patrick Stewart.
