James Patrick Padian, a first-generation Irish-American born in the Bronx, New York October 11th, 1938, passed away on July 19, 2025. He was 86 years old.

He is also survived by his grandchildren, Max Ryall Padian, James Padian Lamport, Grace Morgan Padian, and George Thomas Lamport. One of seven children, he is also survived by two sisters (Helen and Margaret) and a multitude of nieces and nephews.

Jim's love of all sports continued throughout his life, and he enjoyed coaching youth basketball and cheering on his children and grandchildren in all of their athletic endeavors. After moving to Stuart, FL, 18 years ago, he could always be found on the tennis court, riding his bike, or swimming a few laps.

Those who knew him well will remember Jim for his sense of humor; surprising others with impersonations of characters from favorite movies, breaking into song or dance, or reciting an often-used joke.
