James Joseph Chiaramonte

James Joseph Chiaramonte, aka James Joseph, James, Amo, Jamie, age 48, passed away Wednesday, February 8, 2023. He is survived by his wife, Stephanie Chiaramonte; children James Joseph Chiaramonte Jr. (Amber Marie), Anna Grace Chiaramonte (Eric Michael), Allison Jean Latchaw (Matthew Grant), Mason Jay Chiaramonte, Samuel Lee Latchaw, Sophia Jewels Lorraine Chiaramonte; siblings Bryan Fredrick (Kimberly Kay), Kristen Lou (Craig Joseph), Kyle Richard (Holly Alexandria), Johnny, Rachel Joy; mom, Cheryl Lorraine (Fuzzy Patrick); dad, Fredrick Joseph (Judy Lynn); grandchildren Kashton William, Willow Annabelle, Gracella Rain, River Michael; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

He was the best husband, father, grandpa, brother, son, and friend you could be lucky to have in your life. He was strong, selfless, and determined to love, help, and care for anyone who needed it. Jamie wore his heart on his sleeve when necessary, and was the rock we all needed in the most vital moments of our lives.

He was a collector of knives, deer antlers, the perfect hunting spots, and fishing holes. There was never a dull moment around Jamie - especially when he watched his football and baseball from his corner of the couch with the volume turned to 100, and was giving the best suggestions to the players who could never hear him. There was nothing he couldn’t do, from your car, to your house, to your heart, he had no problem fixing it all.

Jamie, we love you. No one will ever replace your hugs, laughs, or smile. Your nicknames were irreplaceable, some of the best. Some stuck forever and will always be there to remember you.
