James Thomas Claire III, known as Jimi to those close to him, passed away unexpectedly on February 20th, 2026. He leaves behind four children: Christian, Justin, and his soon-to-be two-year-old twins, Marley and Murphy. James was a dedicated union plumber with the Indiana 440 Plumbers Union. He was a devoted father who cherished his children deeply, and his sudden loss has left a profound void in the lives of those who loved him.

This tragedy leaves James’s partner facing the immense challenge of providing for herself and their young twins, Marley and Murphy. The family is now navigating not only the emotional pain of losing James, but also the financial uncertainty that comes with his passing.

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward helping James’s partner and twins with living expenses and covering the costs of funeral arrangements. Any support you can offer will make a meaningful difference as they work to rebuild their lives during this incredibly difficult time. Your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated.
