James Joseph Chiaramonte, aka James Joseph, James, Amo, Jamie, died Wednesday, Feb. 8. He was 48 years old.

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.

A husband, father, grandpa, brother, son, and friend, 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 rockneeded in the most vital moments of life.

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.
