“Jimmy P”, as he was often referred to, was a bigger than life guy. Although his family was most important to him, he never knew a stranger. His kindness, compassion, and caring spirit were a few of his best qualities and he would give you the shirt off his back or last dollar if you needed it. A very generous man for sure! He had a unique, infectious laugh that will forever be remembered by all that knew him. He was a faithful servant of God, and a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend.

For the last 12 years, Jim was an Account Executive for Swiss America, a precious metals brokerage firm. He loved his job and talking to clients or potential clients every day. His Swiss America family was very special to him and a big part of his life.

Jimmy leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories. Though he may no longer walk among us, his spirit will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew him.

A Celebration of Jim’s life will be held on April 30, 2024, with a rosary to begin at 11:00AM and a service to follow at 12:00PM at Heritage Funeral Chapel – 6830 W.Thunderbird Rd, Peoria, AZ 85381.
