James T. McLoud passed away surrounded by family on Friday, February 7, 2025.

An ornery man, who could make anyone laugh. He was a machine repairman at Ford Motor Co. for 42 years. Married twice prior, he finally found the love of his life Penny McLoud. He would say she was the only woman who could put up with him. They were married for nearly 45 years.

James has five children he leaves behind, Crystal (James) Clair, Tammy (John) Coleman, Jason McLoud, Melissa (James) Lennerth, and James McLoud. He also leaves behind 13 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and of course his recliner companions Logan and Bella.

James wouldn't want a fuss because he has passed; he would want you to love, take care of your family, and eat dessert first.

Family will receive friends at the Garland-Misencik Funeral Home, 851 Park Avenue, Amherst on Saturday, February 15, 2024, from 2-4 p.m.  There will be a memorial service at 3:30 p.m. with his daughter Pastor Tammy Coleman officiating.
