He attended Wrights Chapel in Hurley for many years.
James is preceded in death by his father Tom Chrystal, his brothers Thomas (Tommy) Chrystal Jr. and William "Blade' Chrystal and a son Tristan Chrystal.
He is survived by a daughter Kathrin Chrystal and her children Harmony, Ava and Bradley Clark, and a son Noah Chrystal (Taylor Curry) and their daughter Oaklyn Curry, his mom Geraldine Kauth (James) two brothers Robert and John Chrystal as well as other extended family and friends.
A Celebration of James' life will be held on May 31, 2025, at Community of Christ (909 East Battlefield, Springfield) at 2 p.m. Per James' request, cremation has taken place, and he will be buried in Wisconsin at a later date.

I am very sorry to hear of Jim´s passing. I have known Jim since a very young age and always was a good guy. They moved in across the street at Trace Hollow years ago and were some of our neighbors way out there. My dad, Bush Clark, was very fond of Jim and Jim and my brother were good friends when they were all young. May you find peace and comfort as you make your way through this difficult time.
