James Alan "Jim" Overholt

James Alan "Jim" Overholt, 71, of Allentown, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on September 21, 2025, surrounded by family. Born in Easton, Pennsylvania in August 1954, Jim lived a spirited life filled with energy, laughter, and love. He is survived by his wife of nearly 47 years, Norma Overholt; son James Alan Overholt, Jr. (wife Jess); stepdaughter Shannon Hughes (husband Michael); stepson Carlos Ortiz; brother Warren Overholt (wife Lorna); sister Linda Barber; nephew Jeffrey Coleman; great-niece Carissa Coleman; niece Tameka Coleman; nephew Steven Overholt; niece Kimberly Tsihlis; and goddaughter Bella. He was especially fond of his "grandpup," Buddy. Jim worked as an owner/operator for Allied Van Lines, later as a dispatcher, and served proudly as a Teamsters Steward. He will be remembered as a loving husband, strong advocate, and a man with a big heart. Per his wishes, no service will be held. The family welcomes flowers and plants to their home as a tribute.
