James Benjamin Alldredge, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away peacefully at home on August 3, 2025. He was born on January 15, 1946. He lived a full and vibrant life, marked by the love he had for his family and the passions that brought joy to his days.

James is survived by his beloved wife of many years, Diane Alldredge, who was his partner in all things and his steadfast companion. Together, they raised a family that includes their children Pam Gill, Chris Alldredge, and Tim Berfanger. He was a proud grandfather to seven grandchildren and had the joy of seeing his family grow to include seven great-grandchildren. His life was a testament to the love and care he poured into his family, and he will be deeply missed by each of them. James was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Carolyn Crowe, who all left indelible marks on his heart.

For 18 years, James was a dedicated employee at O'Reilly Auto Parts.

He had a lifelong passion for racing cars and was an avid NASCAR fan and loved going to grandchildren's baseball games.

James Benjamin Alldredge lived a life marked by dedication, joy, and an abundance of love. As we remember him, we celebrate the legacy he leaves behind-a legacy of strong family bonds, unwavering support, and countless cherished memories. He will be remembered not just for the life he lived, but for the countless ways he touched the lives of others. James's story is one of a life well-lived and well-loved, and he will be forever in our hearts.

A Funeral Visitation will be held at Sunset Cemetery's Chapel of Peace Mausoleum on Thursday August 7th with Visitation at 11am until Service time at 12pm. Burial will immediately follow.
