It is beautifully written by his brother in law. https://www.campbellfh.com/obituary/James-Jimmy-McCourt/Philadelphia-Pennsylvania/1849964 A sad update****** Jimmy fought hard, we kept praying and hoping for a miracle. Unfortunately, he needed to rest and God needed him home. He is in the arms of his mom now. He was an amazing man who touched many lives and will forever be remembered. We will continue to update when we find out anything. We would love to celebrate Jimmys life and any contributions made are greatly appreciated and go directly to his wife Jaime and their girls. It is with heavy heart that I need to repost this.....a message from his beautiful wife... "Jimmys MRI showed irreversible massive damage to his brain. He fought so hard to be able to be alive to give us all the gift to say our goodbyes to him. Anyone that wants to come up to the hospital today to say goodbye is more than welcome to. And when it's time me and my girls will lay with him, we'll turn off the machines, and we will be with him when he leaves. I will forever miss this man every day for the rest of my life. I have never felt so heart broken before. This was not the plan. This is not what we wanted but this is what we have to deal with. And I really appreciate everyone's support for me and the girls right now. " Whatever funds we can receive will be used for bills, Jimmys memorial, and his family.   Friday June 7th, Jimmy, who is only 40, suffered a massive heart attack at home. His loving wife, Jaime was fortunately home with him and performed CPR, which saved his life. Corky is an amazingly hard worker, who constantly works to provide for his family.  He is the best father, husband, brother and best friend.  He has the most wittiest jokes and can make the best out of any situation. Whenever anyone, family or friends, needs any type of help, he is the first person to lend a helping hand. He is currently in the hospital and getting better daily, but he will have a long road to recovery and many lifestyle changes need to occur. It is now our turn as family and friends to return the favor to him. He has had a dream of starting a business and selling on Amazon. We would love to help him out with this when he wakes up so he could start up his dream. We are also hoping that we can lighten the load of hospital bills, and house bills that will at some point pile up. So many people have been helped by James, please help us help him.
