James Lescoe Obituary

James Paul Lescoe, 66, of Raleigh, North Carolina, died Wednesday, January 21, 2026, at Transitions Lifecare Hospice in Raleigh due to complications from diabetes.



He was born October 18, 1959, in Hartford, and had grown up in Simsbury prior to moving to Florida and then Raleigh 20 years ago. He was a graduate of Tampa College where he received his Bachelor of Science degree. James was an Inside Sales Account Manager at Cisco Systems and enjoyed his work there.



He was a big sports fan, having framed newspapers of the Red Sox World Series wins on his wall. He loved music, was a fan of classic rock and attended many concerts. He cherished his Ford Mustang and kept it in top condition.
