Timothy C. James

On Saturday, February 2, 2019, Timothy "Tim" Charles James, loving husband and father of three children, died at the age of 64.

Tim was born November 30, 1954 in Delaware, OH to Thomas and Pam James. Tim attended Miami (Ohio) University where he met the love of his life, Marianne. The couple made their Miami Merger official on June 17, 1978. After graduating, Tim attended law school at The Ohio State University and received his J.D. in 1980. Tim was a partner at the law firm of Ritter, Robinson, McCready and James for over 30 years. Tim and Marianne raised a daughter, Caitlin, and two sons, Sean and Patrick in Maumee, Ohio.

Tim, also known as, "Bad to the Bone", was famous for getting better looking every day. He was widely considered the premier youth soccer coach in NW Ohio throughout the 90's. His advanced tactics included numerous trips to Chuck E. Cheese and the Mighty Ducks Flying V. In Tim's free time he loved biking, tennis, trivia, basketball and any other activity where he could kick your butt. While dominating every single day, Tim truly loved his life, family & friends.

Tim is proudly survived by his wife Marianne, his children, Caitlin (Dan) Keller, Sean (Marissa) and Patrick (Victoria) James, grandchildren Timothy and Elizabeth Keller, niece Tammy James, brother Walt, sister Jackie Marshall , mother-in-law Ann Desmond and many outlaws and nieces and nephews.

"Tim's free time he loved ..., tennis, ... where he could kick your butt."

Yes! He would "kick your butt" and make fun of you while doing it; trash talk you until you had to stop playing because you were laughing so hard.

From all perspectives, Tim was someone to admire and emulate; truly a role model in his family, personal and professional life.

I am better for knowing him.

I leave this post teary-eyed but smiling.

To the James Family,

Tim was an amazing person. His happy go lucky attitude was contagious. He was a joy to be around. We are so sorry to hear of his passing. The world will not be the same without him. We have lost a beautiful spirit that will not be forgotten. Tim did a lot for both of us. You are in our thoughts as you go through this difficult time.

I remember meeting Tim for the first time when he was visiting the Desmonds . Mel and I were so impressed as how well he fit into this wonderful family. He was so friendly,funny ,warm and engaging . In the car going home, Mel gave him the ultimate compliment saying he reminded him so much of Marshall.As the years have passed when I have seen him on fewer occasions , he was still the warm and charming man I had met years before. My deepest sympathy to Marianne,and your entire family. May all of your sweet memories of Tim bring you comfort. I am out of town, but I send love to all of the Desmond family. You are a very special group of people,with Ann being a wonderful role model. I know that Marianne will be given loving support by all of you. Sending many hugs and much love.
