James McMurray "Jimmy" Loft, 51, passed away on February 14, 2025, in Palm Bay, Florida. Born on February 13, 1974, in Melbourne, Florida, James lived a life filled with love, hard work, and deep connections with those around him.
James is survived by his wife, April; his children, J.J., Dylan, Morgan, and Megan; his mother, June; his father, John; and his brother, Kenny. He also leaves behind many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins who will cherish his memory.
A man who never met a stranger, James was known for his warm heart and unwavering love for family and friends. He found joy in working with his hands and had a passion for camping and fishing-activities that allowed him to embrace the outdoors while creating lasting memories with loved ones.
