James "Jim" Verhagen, 63, of Greenville, PA, passed away on August 28, 2025, in his home following a courageous battle with cancer.

He was born in Kendall, NY, on December 7, 1961, to Harry Verhagen and Mary Ann Hays.

James was always a happy person and loved to make other people happy. He had many friends throughout his time here on Earth, and enjoyed having fun and happy times with all. He is loved and missed by all that knew him, and will be remembered in good times always.

He was a Husband, and a father, who did love and think about his kids always. As James' wife, I will love and miss him through Eternity.

Our Heavenly Father, in this hour of trial and affliction we turn to thee. In Thy Providence Thou has called our Brother hence, and we bow in humble submission to Thy will. He was dear to us and we loved him as a brother. May he now realize the love of a Heavenly Father, which passeth all understanding. He bore the trials and burdens of this Earthly life, and weary of it all, turned to Thee for rest. We commit him to Thy tender care. Comfort the living and those near him by ties of relationship and brotherly affection. Help us to realize that the parting is only for a short season, and that we shall meet again in the Grande Aerie beyond, where the faults and frailties of this earthly life are forgotten, and all become perfect in the love of an Infinite God.

May James forever Rest in Peace in the Kingdom of Heaven, Amen.
