James O’Shea Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Millennium Cremation Service - Vero Beach on May 8, 2025.
James "Jimbo" O'Shea, 78, of Viera, passed away on April 30, 2025, with his family by his side. Born in Queens, New York, he was son to the late James Joseph and Hildegarde-Amelia.
Jimbo completed his education in Holbrook, New York, before coming to Florida to reside with his brother, Brian, and family.
Jimbo attended the Goodwill of Vero Beach, where he had the opportunity to work and socialize with his beloved peers.
Jimbo was a special light that added a shine to the world. He loved unconditionally and touched lives in a way no other could.
And his laugh was infectious.
His sense of humor was unmatched, along with his calves of steel.
Jimbo adored being with his family and friends. He shared a special love with his little brother Brian, and had an extraordinary bond with his sister-in-law, Jeanmarie, and his nephews Timothy and Keith (even when he was beating up on them!).
Jimbo loved to eat out at his favorite restaurants, had a passion for traveling across the country, and loved watching his sports, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and all his old shows on TV Land.
Jimbo was an avid lover of music, with his idol being the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley. He always had so much joy playing his records and flipping through his favorite books and magazines.
Jimbo is survived by his sister-in-law, Jeanmarie, as well as his nephews, Timothy and Keith, his great nephew, Landon, his great niece, Lyla, and his noble steed, Kai. He was preceded in death by his dear brother, Brian. In addition to his immediate family, Jimbo is survived by his brother Charles, and countless cousins and friends.
