James Canady Obituary

Published by Legacy on Oct. 17, 2024.
Jim Canady, 71, of Round Rock, Texas passed away on October 13th, 2024 after complications from heart failure. Jim was born on December 3rd, 1952 to Jim Canady Sr. and Marion Wade in Brawley, California, both of whom preceded him in death.
Jim is survived by his partner, Sonia Roberts, sons and daughters-in-law, Ryan and Jessica Canady in Oregon, Brent Canady and Jessica Fairchild in Texas, his sister Vicki Chisom, his brothers Joe Crha, Robert Crha, Roy Hickox Jr, and his grandchildren Tyler Canady, Liam Canady, Adeline Prouty, and Lincoln Prouty.
Jim was a veteran of the USAF of 8 years, and settled in Texas after his honorable discharge. He spent time with his family and worked pursuing various entrepreneurial endeavors. Jim was a passionate real estate broker who enjoyed helping people fulfill their dreams of home ownership. Outside of work, he often spent weekends wrenching under the car with Ryan, watching Brent coach and play lacrosse, and found time to enjoy woodworking. Jim and Sonia lived a life fulfilled, full of hobbies and remodeling homes. We will all miss Jim greatly.
