James Logiudice’s Funeral

Hi my name is Tandra,

 I am James’ little sister. If you knew me or James, we have never asked for much. We tended to take a lot on ourselves and make due, but my family and I find ourselves very unprepared for our up and coming journey. James was a shining light in a lot of peoples lives. He was caring, compassionate, a extremely intelligent kick ass nurse, ambitious, and never failed to make the people around him smile and laugh. James loved to garden and share the cutest pictures of his fur babies on social media with you all. James always wanted to travel. His heart pulled him in a thousand different directions and he wanted to see and do everything. James was loud and outspoken and said what he wanted WHENEVER he wanted which I just loved so much about him. It is so rare to find his personality out in the world. He stood out and spoke up and demanded to be seen. 

What a lot of people didn’t see was his internal struggle. James has struggled with his mental health for longer than I can even remember. James took his life on Monday December 19th 2022. He passed away in his home and was attended to right away. He was not alone for long and did not suffer. He always tried his best to reach out for help when he needed it but this time I’m asking for help for him. 

Monday is a day that his family and friends will not quickly forget. James leaves behind his partner Robert of almost a decade, a home in Tulsa, and all of his fur babies. James is an uncle to Arlo and Finnegan, a son to Jennifer Logiudice, David Bridges, Michael Logiudice, and Andrea Logiudice. He was also a brother to myself, Kenya Hartley, and David Bridges Jr. james was also the grandson to Susan Bottoms, and Dolores Musmeci Logiudice Barry. James had so many people that loved and cherished him. So many in fact that I will not even attempt to name everyone on here. 

My family and I want to get this right and send him off with all of his friends and family present and make sure that Robert has everything he needs as well. I’m hoping to collect donations to cover this cost and help those around him that are struggling and fighting their own battles right now. One last party for you James. I’ll make sure it’s a good one for you because I know you are watching and I know you are no longer in pain. There won’t be black and white. There will be color and nothing but. I am beyond humbled and this isn’t easy. 

 thank you
