James Landuyt Obituary

James Edward Landuyt, a beloved resident of Chesapeake, Virginia, passed away peacefully on November 18, 2025, at the age of 81 in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, on May 14, 1944, James lived a life full of dedication and passion.

James proudly served as a Chef in the United States Navy for 20 years, where he honed his culinary skills and developed lifelong friendships. His love for cooking was matched only by his fervent support for his hometown team, the Kansas City Chiefs. He found great joy in cheering them on through countless seasons.

For many years, James called Chesapeake, Virginia, his home, where he built a fulfilling life surrounded by friends and the community he cherished. Preceded in death by his mother, Dorothy Landuyt, his memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.

Altmeyer Funeral Home, Southside Chapel, located at 5033 Rouse Drive, Virginia Beach, Virginia, is caring for the arrangements. To share your memories of James, please visit his Tribute page at AltmeyerFH.com.
