James Lavelle Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jimmy was a master carpenter and ran his own construction company for decades. He was an avid outdoorsman and loved hunting, fishing, and boating. He always looked forward to the annual hunting trip to Maine with his father, brother, and friends. He was also a single dad who raised a loving son with whom he enjoyed vacationing and had countless adventures with. Coming from a small town, Jimmy had many lifelong friends, although he was always happy to make new friends while following the Grateful Dead for over 40 years. Jimmy will be best remembered for being a kind and caring person who always helped other people out no matter the situation. His inner sunshine will be missed by many.
Besides his mother Patricia, he will be lovingly remembered by his son, James S. Lavelle IV; his granddaughter, Amber Lavelle; his brother Keith Lavelle, and wife Anne; two sisters, Lisa Gabrielson, and husband Kurt, and Lynn Zuba, and husband Stan; as well as several nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
