James F Brace, age 84, of Seaford, DE, passed away on February 19, 2026, after a hard fought battle against mantle cell lymphoma. He was born in Long Branch, NJ on August 10, 1941, the son of the late Joseph and Catherine Brace.

He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Linda Brace, three sons, Joe Brace, Mike Brace (Michelle), and Paul Brace (Jennifer), and ten grandchildren, Katie, Titus, Selah, Shiloh, AJ, Maximus, Bear, Kerria, Renee, and Brandon. The family rejoices in his newfound love of Jesus Christ.

James is preceded in death by his parents Joseph and Catherine Brace.
