James Ravencraft Obituary
Jimmy, 79, peacefully passed away on January 13, 2025, leaving behind a lifetime of memories filled with laughter and happiness. He will be deeply missed for his kind-hearted personality and ability to make everyone around him laugh and smile. He truly touched the lives of all who knew him.
When Jimmy wasn’t spending time enjoying his family, the beach or the NY Giants, he was at his barber shop, Anthony & Jimmy’s, enjoying his customers who were like family. He was a barber in Campbell’s Junction for over 50 years and loved every minute of his time spent there.
Jimmy is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Elaine; his daughter Stacey and son-in-law Jay; his son James; grandchildren Branden (Sarah), Marissa (Charlie), Kylan and Annalise; great grandchildren Ryker and Leo; nephew Ronald (Maria), niece Susan (Eric) and predeceased by his nephew Thomas.
A private mass will be held in Chagrin Falls, OH and a private celebration of Jimmy’s beautiful life will be held on Sandy Hook beach. Donations in Jimmy’s memory may be made to Alzheimer’s Association.
