James Michael Blosser, known as Jim to his friends and loved ones, left this world too soon at age 73.
Born on Jan. 9, 1951, in Morgantown, he was a spirited soul who lived his life with a sense of adventure right up to his passing in Morgantown on May 26, 2024, due to injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.
Jim treasured the hills of his hometown where he was born and raised. His devotion to family was evident, as he was preceded in death by his father, Melvin Blosser, and is survived by a close-knit family. His loving mother, Phyllis ‘Pip’ Blosser, of home; his daughter, Michael (Jordan) Roush, of Blacksville; sisters, Mary Ann (Jim) May and Lisa (Rick) Dalton, all of Morgantown; grandchildren, Nicholas ‘Bubba’ Todd and Paige ‘Peanut’ Todd, of Fairmont, will dearly miss his presence. Jim’s legacy also lives on through his numerous nieces and nephews and his special motorcycle riding buddy, Yog.
A skilled carpenter and craftsman by trade, Jim worked for various contractors throughout the Morgantown area and retired from Suburban Heating/Cooling with a reputation for excellence and dedication. His professional life was marked by an incomparable work ethic and a mastery of his craft that was evident in every project he completed.
Proudly serving his country, Jim was a veteran of the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War and maintained his patriotic spirit as a member of the American Legion. A man of many interests, he found joy in riding his motorcycles and was equally skilled with a pencil, showing his artistic talents through numerous works.
Jim was truly content being at home, where he could relax in the surroundings he so loved. Jim’s gentle spirit and genuine kindness left a mark on the hearts of everyone who knew him, and his memory will continue to inspire all those whose lives he touched.
Friends and family will gather at the Nicholson Chapel Church beginning at 4 p.m. on Monday, June 3, and continue until time of services at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, June 4, with Pastors Donna Dalton and Elmer ‘Scoop’ Nicholson officiating. He will be laid to rest with military honors at the Nicholson Chapel Cemetery.
