It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of James "Strick" W. Strickland, who departed this world on December 9, 2024, in Lehigh Acres, FL, at the age of 73. Born on September 9, 1951, in Titusville, FL, Strick was known for his unwavering honesty, kind heart, and generous spirit.
Strick leaves behind a legacy rooted in hard work and family dedication. He made a profound impact as a Superintendent in the construction industry, where his knowledge of operating heavy equipment and leadership earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Strick cherished time spent outdoors. He had a passion for hunting and enjoyed the meticulous art of welding. In his free time, he enjoyed lunch with friends at the VFW.
James was the beloved son of Colin W. Strickland and Bernice P. Strickland, and was one of 11 children, with whom he shared countless cherished memories throughout his life. He is survived by his loving wife, Lucretia, stepson Chad, and granddaughter Jordyn, who all brought immense joy and pride into his life.
Family, friends, and all whose lives were touched by Strick's presence are invited to honor him at a visitation beginning at 10 a.m., followed by a memorial service at 11 a.m. on December 16th at Aiken Davis Funeral Home in Labelle, FL.
In his memory, his family invites you to share sentiments and pay final respects to a man whose life was a testament to integrity, kindness, and generosity. James "Strick" W. Strickland will be deeply missed, but his spirit will continue to inspire those who knew and loved him.
