With profound sadness, we say goodbye to James C. Schade Jr. (Custer, South Dakota), born in Parma, Ohio, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. James left this world on January 9, 2026 at the age of 63, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. Family and friends can send flowers and/or light a candle as a loving gesture for their loved one. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of James C. Schade Jr. to show support.

As we bid James farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For James is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
