James Mclaughlin

James "Jamie" McLaughlin, age 43 of Dayton, passed away March 29, 2020. He was born November 24, 1976. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Dee; son, Mikey; parents: Chuck and Emily; and brother, Chuckie.

Jamie is survived by his children: Chelsea, Aaron and James Jr.; niece and nephew he raised: Michelle and Nick; sister, Chrissy (Danny) Rogers; numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, a gang of loving friends and church family.

Jamie was a hard working man, tow truck driver and known mechanic. He loved to entertain friends and family; was a great cook and made enough to feed an army. Jamie loved to tease and play around and make everyone laugh. He fought this battle for a long time; he never gave up. Most of the time you'd never know he was as sick as he was because he was still taking care of everyone else. He will truly be missed and forever loved. Heaven became a bright place the day he went; the reunion had to be amazing. He is where his heart's content; with Dee, Mikey, Mom, Dad and Chuckie. Forever and always.
