James Leiphart Obituary

In loving memory of James Leiphart (Ann Arbor, Michigan), who departed this world on June 11, 2025 at the age of 77. James leaves behind a legacy remembered by family and friends. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

As James departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though James may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy James leaves behind.

He is survived by: his wife Sharon; his daughters, Erika (Aaron) and Shelley (Adam); and his grandchildren, Noah and Ava.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Michigan Brain Bank or Parkinson's Foundation would be appreciated.
