On Sunday, April 27, 2025, the soul of James Michael Sheahan – loving husband, caring father, grandfather, and beloved friend to many – left this world. Carrying on his memory are his loving family and countless friends who will miss him dearly, though they celebrate his meaningful life.
"Jim" was blessed with many talents and achievements, marked by a career built on mentoring others and sharing successes. Jim took great pride in his professional accomplishments and relished every opportunity to help others do the same.
Jim wasted not a moment of his time of his life – he was a talented athlete & musician, world traveler & explorer, successful professional, generous philanthropist and adventurous human being. He loved God, his family, and his country.
He was kind, humble, and strong; he lived up to his code. Jim wasted not a moment of his time, and leaves this world better off than he found it.
