James Anthony Ferrie

February 17, 1973 - July 10, 2025

James Anthony Ferrie
February 17, 1973 – July 10, 2025

James Anthony Ferrie, age 52, passed away on July 10, 2025, in Mesa, Arizona. Born on February 17, 1973, in Norwich, Connecticut, James brought quiet strength, intelligence, and a wry sense of humor to everyone who had the good fortune of knowing him.

James was a gifted Senior Applications Developer whose dedication and brilliance in programming left a mark on every project he touched. His talents didn’t end with code—he had a true craftsman’s heart. He found joy in woodworking, beauty in photography, and endless comfort in the company of cats and kittens.

He is survived by his loving wife, Jennifer Marie Ferrie of Mesa, Arizona, his mother, Ilda Ferrie of Connecticut, mother-in-law Marcia Crossgrove of Queen Creek, Arizona, and, father-in-law Gregory Crossgrove of Seattle, Washington. He is also remembered by his brother-in-law Jeff Jablonski; sister-in-law Sarah Richards and her husband Scott; nephews Cash Richards, Nathaniel Jablonski, and Eliot Jablonski; and nieces Alexa, Amia, and Amity Richards.  James was predeceased by his father, James Francis Ferrie, and his sister, Christine Jablonski. 

James was a private soul, and in keeping with his wishes, no services will be held in Arizona. Cremation has taken place. A memorial gathering in Connecticut will be announced at a later date for family and friends to honor and remember him.

In lieu of flowers, those who wish to honor James’ memory are invited to make a donation to the Arizona Humane Society, a cause dear to his heart.

Condolences 11

Melissa Mendes-Hickey We were heartbroken to hear of the loss of Jimmy. Please accept our deepest condolences. As one of the “babies” of our cousin tribe he was always one of a kind: gentle, kind, and quietly brilliant. His thoughtful nature, warm heart and intelligence touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His time with us was far too short, but his memory will remain a blessing for us. We wish you strength and comfort and peace during this incredibly difficult time. With heartfelt sympathy, Melissa Mendes-Hickey and Joe Hickey

Ilda Ferrie Jimmy, from the moment I first held you, I knew a gentle soul had come into the world. You lived with a tender heart, offering compassion in ways that words could never fully capture. Your gentleness and kindness were a light in my life and the lives of those blessed to know you. I am so sorry your journey ended so soon. Jimmy, I will carry your love with me always. Rest in God’s peace. With love, Mom (Ilda Carvalho Ferrie)

Craig Vanengen Saw this last night and was gutted. Jim was one of my closest friend from SkyMall and our irreverent no-filter personalities made us fast friends. He made work so much fun and was so hilarious, and he'd have me in tears when he'd go off on a rant about something, whether it was how much he hated the band Rush, a restaurant that didn't give free refills, or how stormtroopers wore those big suits and yet were killed with one shot. He knew how to cut through the BS with anything and once you were close with him he never gave you anything but his unfiltered opinions. We still went to lunch semi-regularly but those lunches became less frequent as time went on. I thought about messaging him to go to lunch a couple weeks ago and then got busy, and when I checked our texts, I realized it had been over a year and I regret that so much. RIP buddy.

Marilyn Meyer Jenn, I’m so sad I never got to meet Jim. I get it now that he was a true soul mate and a really good man who loved you and your fur babies. Holding you both in my heart.

Megan & Jeff Harmon Jim, Little James, Jimothy— You were incredibly funny, kind, smart and loved your feline children more fiercely than any Father ever has or will. Thank you for answering my hundreds of computer questions and taking us to hidden gems like that “new start-up, hole-in-the-wall” spot, Serrano’s. We are so grateful to have known you. You are loved and will be deeply missed.

jeffrey Jablonski Jimmy was truly a man of quiet strength and unwavering kindness. To Eli, Nate and me, he was more than an uncle and brother in law. He was a gentle presence, a patient listener, and a source of warmth and encouragement. His goodness showed in the small, everyday moments: a kind word, a helping hand, a smile that made you feel seen. We will remember him not only for the life he lived, but for the love he gave quietly but freely.
