James Richard Yeager, age 88, of Hudson, FL, passed away on September 24, 2025. He was originally from Huntington, NY, and moved to Pasco County in the 1980's. He worked in the New York area as a mason. He raced motorcycle motor cross in the 1960's in the North East area.

He was a free spirit, carefree, and lived in the moment. He will be remembered for his unique personality. Jim had many quirks, was funny, and enjoyed life on his terms. He had many life experiences and stories that he liked to share in conversation. He loved tinkering with cars, and enjoyed spending time at the beach.

He is survived by his daughter Dawn, and son John Kempf. He also leaves behind five grandchildren: Stephanie and Eric Bryan; Janelle, Alesia, and Aren Kempf.
