James DeCoste Obituary
With profound sadness, we say goodbye to James DeCoste in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. James left this world on April 15, 2026, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of James DeCoste to show support.
In the soft embrace of remembrance, we recall the profound impact James had on those he encountered along his journey. Though James may have slipped beyond the veil of mortality, his essence lingers like a faint fragrance in the air, a lingering reminder of the beauty and complexity of the human experience.
He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Caroline DeCoste and John DeCoste; his wife Carol; his daughter Bernadette (Jim); his grandchildren, Caroline and Thomas; his children, James II (Judy) and Gretchen; and his brother Paul.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Jim's honor to the Basking Ridge Fire Company No. 1 (brfco.com), St. Mark's Episcopal Church (stmarksbr.org) or the American Legion (legion.org).
