WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — James K. Hoadley, 56, of Winter Haven passed away peacefully July 24, 2025, at home with family by his side.

Born Dec. 31, 1968, in Bradford, Pa., Jimmy was a hardworking carpenter who traveled up and down the East Coast for his trade. He loved spending time outdoors — especially fishing and hunting — and he was happiest when surrounded by people, always ready to socialize. He was an avid sports fan who enjoyed cheering for the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Yankees, and watching NASCAR.

Jimmy was preceded in death by his parents, James W. Hoadley and Janne E. Loop, as well as his grandparents and several aunts and uncles.

He is survived by his son, Stephen (Samantha) Hart; his two beautiful granddaughters; his brother, Scott (Amber) Loop; his sisters, Cindy (Jeremy) Remington, Jacqueline (Paul) Runyan, Angela (Shannon) Hyde, Erica Hoadley and Jennifer (Steven) Frontino; and several nieces and nephews.

His beloved fiancée, Jamie Bond, stood by his side with love, care and unwavering devotion. Their bond was something truly special and brought him joy every day.

There will be no service at this time. The family will let everyone know when a celebration of life will be held. Until then, tip one back for Jimmy.
