James Kane Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born in Paterson, NJ, to John and Ellen Kane, Jim was a devoted family man, a hard worker, and a loving presence in the lives of those who knew him. He dedicated his time working as an electrician for Air Group, where he was known for his reliability, strong work ethic, and attention to detail. Jim was a devoted Christian and looked up to his faith when he needed comfort.
Jim took great pride in caring for his home, always making sure things were tidy and in their place. A man who found joy in simple things, he especially cherished time spent with his family and his three beloved dogs, who brought him constant comfort and happiness.
Jim is survived by his wife Carol; his mother Ellen; his daughters Stacy Kane and Jamie Kane and his grandson Brenden Kane; his brother Jack Kane and his wife Carol; his sister Donna Stec. Jim is also survived by his nephew John and his wife Andrea; nieces Brenda and her husband Chris, Kristen, Jessica and her husband Glenn, Melissa and her husband Henry, along with 5 great-nephews, a great-niece and his three beloved dogs.
Visitation will be held at Scanlan's: Where Life is Celebrated on Thursday August 21, 2025 from 4-8PM. A memorial service will be held Friday August 22, 2025 at 11AM. Jim was a devoted provider for his family. In light of the financial challenges, memorial donations to support the family are deeply appreciated.

From the first day Jack introduced me to his family you always treating me as one of the family. It is hard to accept that we will not see you again. You were always there for us and our grandsons, who so admired and enjoyed being with you.
The weekend barbecues, when you would invite us up for a quick meal, and you would cook up at 3 different meats to please everyone. Or when you would come for Christmas Eve with 20 different appetizers and dishes, even though you said you would only bring a few. Driving down to the Carolinas together with all the kids in the conversion van. When the van broke down in VA and we all had to share one hotel room together. That was a night to remember. These are just some of the memories we have.
We are going to miss all the adventures we had. Most important, we are going to miss your laughter, smile and sense of humor. A loving father, brother and uncle who always put your family first. No matter what you always had a smile or joke to lighten up the situation.
Thank you for the opportunity for our grandsons to share time with you and get to know how special and amazing you were. They were so lucky to have been able to spend time with you; and they will miss you tremendously.
Missing you always, Love Carol

I can't believe you are really gone. You were not only my brother but my best friend. All the memories of us growing up in Paterson, going on vacation together, Sunday barbecues, family parties and holidays. None of them will ever be the same. You stood beside me through the happy moments and through the tough ones. I thank you for being the amazing, loving brother you were to me. Will miss you always. Love Jack
