James Robert Steacy

November 30, 1956 — August 9, 2024

NEW BERLIN – James Robert Steacy, of New Berlin, passed away unexpectedly, on Friday, August 9, 2024, at the age of 67. He was born on November 30, 1956, in Ilion, NY, to George and Marion Steacy. He was raised and educated locally and attended Ilion schools. Jim went on to serve his country in the Army National Guard. He then married Dawn Duncan and together they raised 3 precious daughters.

Jim will always be remembered for his humility, kindness, humor and sarcasm. His work ethic was profound until the day that he passed and his life experiences allowed him to gain knowledge in many areas of profession. “The very basic core of a man’s living spirit was his passion for adventure” and Jim will always be known for his love of travel and new experiences. While the open road may have given him the ability to seek truth and freedom, we, his family, believe that his true freedom was found when he gave himself the gift of sobriety, 9 years ago. His bravery will never be forgotten and he will always be an inspiration to the significant number of lives that he touched.

Above all else, it was his role as a father and grandfather that Jim cherished the most. With stories and memories, he loved nothing more than to share his pride in regards to his family. His legacy will live on in his 3 beautiful daughters, Tonya (Russell) Card, Sheila Steacy, Jayme Steacy and companion Jesse Goodspeed; and their mother, Dawn Covey; his grandchildren, Ashleigh and wife, Teanna, Matthew, Alicia, Tyler, Ethan, Alex, Haylee and Amelia; his great-granddaughter, Laramie; his sisters, Karen Everson and Margaret Bussey; his brothers-in-law, Joe Duncan and Ponch Duncan; his many lifelong friends; and nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was predeceased in death by his father and mother, George and Marion Steacy; his brother, Guy Steacy; his sisters, Marion Aloisio and Janet Broadbent; his nephews, Chad Aloisio, Jason Everson and James Boepple; his brothers-in-law, Jim Duncan, Steve Duncan and David Duncan; and his sister-in-law, Terry Kilts.

At 10:00 a.m., on Thursday, August 22, 2024, we welcome friends and family to join us at Armory Hill Cemetery, in Ilion, where Jim will be laid to rest.
