James Anthony DePaul of Lansdale, PA, peacefully came home to the Lord on Saturday, June 22nd, 2024 at the age of 61.

James, more affectionately known as “Jimmy,” was the beloved husband of 39 years to Janet (Lynch) DePaul.

Jimmy worked successfully for many years of his life. Jimmy was proud to be the first in his family to earn a four-year college degree. Starting as an electrician, Jimmy established a successful security company in Cape Coral, FL, in moving back to PA, Jimmy went on to earn his Master’s degree and own and operate an electrical licensing business. When he wasn’t working, Jimmy loved watching the Steelers play, volunteering for Towamencin Township, coaching youth football, and having all his children and grandsons over for weekly dinners.

Jimmy’s pride and joy were his children and grandsons. He was a constant in the lives of his loved ones; never wavering in his commitment to the well-being of those he loved. He never missed a football practice or game, proofread every essay he was sent, and called every week to check in if anything needed fixing, and if there was something, he was there with his tools within a day. Jimmy will be remembered for all these things but most notably, his colorful and often outlandish sense of humor that commanded the room. He will be dearly missed by his family but they rest in the comfort that they will see him again in Heaven.

Born in Philadelphia, PA, he was the son of the late Jerome and Maryanna (Zulli) DePaul and brother of the late Daniel DePaul and Jerome DePaul.

In addition to his beloved wife Janet, Jimmy is survived by his loving children, Nicholas, Courtney, Joey and his wife Savannah, and Giana. He is also survived by his three adoring grandchildren: Brayden, Kameron, and Benjamin, his sisters Lynn (Rob), Donna, Sue (in-law) and his brother Michael (Maureen), and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend Jimmy’s Funeral Mass on Friday, June 28, 2024, at 11:00 AM at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church, 51 Lansdale Ave., Lansdale, PA 19446, where the family receive friends in Church and prior to Mass, from 9:00 AM to 10:45 AM. Interment will be private.
