James Francis “Jimmy” Bagnell, 58, son of the late Thomas J. Bagnell, Jr. and Marie Walsh Bagnell, peacefully passed away January 10, 2024, surrounded by his loving siblings. Jimmy exemplified the zest of human spirit, and he leaves behind a lasting impact on all who knew him.
Jimmy graduated from Lansdale Catholic High School (Class of 1983) and La Salle University (Class of 1987). His heart’s greatest treasure was family and Jimmy’s love for his family was immense. He cherished time together with friends from all walks of life and cast a wide net of circles and groups. Jimmy reminded us of the value of family and friendships. A legacy of epic echoing of the laughter of family and friends, old and new, lives on.
In every area of life, Jimmy radiated his warm and nurturing spirit that was constantly reaching out into the lives of others. He understood the joy of being generous with the gifts that God had given to him. He found beauty and meaning in simple things and explored life with daily vim and vigor. In that spirit, Jimmy will be fondly remembered as kind, funny, adventurous and compassionate.
Jimmy is survived by his loving siblings and family, Marie La Prise (David), Jane Ginsberg (Greg), Tom Bagnell (Andrea), John Bagnell, and Kathy Finnegan (John) and his adoring nieces and nephews, Jennifer Ginsberg Brown (Kevin), Kathleen Ginsberg, Elizabeth Ginsberg, Meg Ginsberg, Caroline La Prise McGinn (Sean), John La Prise (Rebecca), Benny Bagnell, Tommy Bagnell, Amelia Bagnell, Jack Bagnell, Colleen Bagnell, Shannon Bagnell, Jessie Bagnell, Sam Bagnell, Tommy Finnegan and Charlie Finnegan.
