James P. Boulette

Ware – James P. Boulette of Ware passed unexpectedly on Monday, June 9th, 2025, in Baystate Wing Hospital.
Jim leaves his two children, Breann Boulette of Ware, and Jacob Boulette of Warren. He leaves his loving parents Paul and Linda Boulette of New Braintree, as well as two brothers, Shawn Boulette of Charlton, and E.J. Burse of Ionia, NY.
Jim worked as a truck driver for 30 years, traveling to 48 States and Canada. His favorite routes included traveling to Kentucky, where he made many memories and lasting friendships. On these long hauls across the country, Jim developed a great love for music, with Rock 102 being one of his favorite radio stations. In his spare time, he enjoyed fishing, working on classic cars, and attending car shows. He loved having a good time with close friends and family and attending many poker games hosted at his parent's house. Most of all he loved getting into shenanigans with his brother Shawn.
Jim is remembered as someone who was honest, full of life, and loved people with his whole heart, especially his children and family. He was someone you could count on, when he said he had your back, he meant it wholeheartedly.
