James Marcelynas Memorial Fund

Welcome to the James (Jim) Marcelynas Memorial Fund page.  Jim was an exceptional man that was taken from this world way too soon.  He lost his life in a tragic car accident on March 2, 2017.  Jim was 40 years old.  He leaves behind a beautiful wife Elda, their two children Giulia, 6, and James, 4, as well as his parents, grandmother, siblings, and extended family.  Jim began his career as a Paramedic and volunteered while getting his college degree.  Jim became a Registered Nurse and worked with Life Star at Hartford Hospital, where he served 10 years, two of which as Chief Flight Nurse.  He also had nursing experience in both adult and pediatric critical care.  Jim went back to school to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist.  Jim committed his professional life to providing exceptional care for others.  His wife Elda is a Registered Nurse as well.  To a family that has dedicated their lives to helping others, now it is their time of need.  Jim and Elda would be the first to volunteer to help a family in crisis, and that is why it is critical that we help them now.  All proceeds from the James Marcelynas Memorial Fund will go directly to Jim's wife and children for immediate and future expenses for the family.  Please help us reach our goal to ease the burden on this most deserving family during this most difficult time.  


A great soul serves everyone all the time.  
A great soul never dies.  
It brings us together again and again.
