AUBURN TWP. – Jamess Thomas Puckett, 58, of Auburn Township, died unexpectedly on Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2020.
Born on Sept. 10, 1962, Jamess is preceded in death by his father, Randy, and survived by his mother, Joyce; brothers, Randy (Roberta) and Jack; sister, Jill Byler (Dave); nieces, Lindsay and Caitlin; and nephew, Dave.
He also leaves behind children, Isabelle Ebie (Michael) and Johnston Puckett; close friend, Paula Pemberton; and loving companion of nine years, Merry Cooke.
A 1980 graduate of Kenston High School, Jamess attended Kent State University before starting his career at Kinetico. He later went on to be a highly-regarded senior field technician for Trionetics and was sought after for his expertise throughout the country, where he travelled extensively and became like family to owners Phil and Colleen Maitino, and everyone he worked with.
Jamess was best known for his gigantic personality and his smile lit up a room anywhere he went. He loved spending his precious free time outdoors, whether with his family and beloved dog, Oxy, at their cottage in Canada, to being with Merry boating on Lake Erie in the summer and snowmobiling in the winter.
In lieu of flowers, Jamess would instead prefer you honor his memory by toasting him with a shot of Royal Flush, his own favorite.
Donations can be made through the Middlefield Bank to The Jamess Puckett Celebration of Life Fund, 11110 Kinsman Road, Suite 1, Newbury, OH 44065.
Due to the effects of COVID-19, services for Jamess will be private for family only; however, a celebration of life is being planned for a future date.
Memories and condolences can be shared with the family at www.slyffh.com.
