Please Support the McCaffrey Family

As we were ringing in the New Year, the heartbreaking news came that our friend, Jim McCaffrey, passed away unexpectedly. Jim was quiet, yet had such an impactful presence in the lives of those who knew him best. It is with heavy hearts that we come together to set up this memorial fund, as a way to support his loving wife, Stacie and their three sons, Joshua (17), Jared (14) and Zachary (11) in their time of inexplicable grief.
Perhaps you knew Jim McCaffrey through the countless hours he spent volunteering, coaching and serving on the boards of our local Babe Ruth and Little League baseball organizations. Maybe you were a fellow Columbia High School fan, Jim’s own alma mater, and the place he and Stacie, chose to educate their children. You could always find him supporting his wife at a PTO event at Donald P. Sutherland where they devoted endless hours to the school community. Or, perhaps you shared Jim’s love for auto racing, himself racing sprint cars for many years. Maybe you knew Jim as a valued colleague in State government, where he was respected for his long and dedicated service.
Regardless of your connection, all that had the pleasure to make Jim McCaffrey’s acquaintance knew him foremost as a devoted family man. A dedicated husband to Stacie, his high school sweetheart, and loving Dad with boundless energy for his sons, Joshua, Jared and Zachary. Whether fishing, camping, racing go-karts, or simply throwing a baseball, Jim always enjoyed life’s simple pleasures with his family. While known for his soft spoken nature, there was one thing Jim was never shy about and that was the love and pride he had for his wife and children.
We hope that you will consider a memorial donation to the McCaffrey family to assist with final expenses, but also to ensure that they have continued health care, a place to call home and their children have the opportunity to continue on a path toward a promising future. As Jim’s family mourns his devastating loss, may together we honor the life they brought to his years, by offering our comfort and support. Thank you for your positive thoughts for healing and strength.
