James Michael Kroskey, 61 of Beaver Falls passed away on Monday, October 27, 2025, at Brighton Rehabilitation and Wellness Center.
Jim was born in Aliquippa and raised in Monaca. Following high school graduation, Jim honorably served his country in the U S Army at Fort Lewis, WA. Jim was known for his strong work ethic, which was evident to those who knew him. He began his career as a bricklayer with Philipps Masonry and eventually joined the bricklayer's union, where he continued to exhibit his craftsmanship and dedication until his retirement.
Beyond his work, Jim was a man who cherished the outdoors. He could often be found on the basketball court or by the water with a fishing rod in hand.
Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Robert F. and Joan O'Roark Kroskey, and his brother, Robert F Kroskey II and Robert's wife, Ann Kimberly Kroskey. His legacy continues through his ex-spouse, Denise Kroskey, and their four children: Connor, Shane, Adin, and Seanna. Jim also leaves behind his brother Gregory (Tammy) Kroskey, his sister Darlene (Dave) White, and his brother Frank Kroskey. His absence will be felt by his many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Private entombment will take place at Oak Grove Cemetery Columbarium, Freedom.
