James Douglas Buckland, 39, of Bristol, CT, passed away unexpectedly on March 9, 2025, surrounded by his loved ones. He is predeceased by his father William W. Buckland.
James is survived by his mother, Ruthann Saulen; his sisters, Shannon Buckland and Kristen Mendez; his brothers, Anthony, Flavio, Guilhereme, Peter Saulen, William Buckland; and his nephew, Jaishaun King.
James is also survived by the love of his life, Lauren Grady; his lifelong best friend, Cierra Caron; his many aunts, uncles, and cousins, especially his Aunt Elizabeth Buckland; as well as his special farm family, Judy Llaser (Robert Lamoureux).
James was a proud employee of Costco in New Britain, CT. He thought of his co-workers as family.
James was happiest when he was at a concert, watching wrestling, cuddling with his dog Blu fishing with his brother Will, going to concerts with Cierra, and going on adventures with his girlfriend Lauren.
