James K. Maume

James “Jimmer” Kevin Maume, 58, of Binghamton, NY, went peacefully to be with the Lord November 13, 2017.  He is predeceased by his father, James G. Maume, who he missed dearly and referred to as “Big Jim”.  Jimmer is survived by his mother, Eleanor G. Maume, his brother, Gerald P. Maume; sisters, Maureen (Robert) McCarthy, Peggy (Maume) Daniels, and Chrissy (Dan) Chiesa; many nieces, nephews and cousins, especially his favorite cousin Maureen Lane all of whom loved Jimmer dearly. Jimmer is leaving behind many, many friends.
Jimmer enjoyed so many things about his life. He had a lifelong admiration for the Binghamton Fire and Police Departments and has a collection of badges, helmets, etc. to prove it. They hang along side his medal for winning 3rd place in the Special Olympics for running.   Music was very important to Jimmer and listening to Barry Manilow or Neil Diamond always made him smile and dance. He loved spending time at Sandy Pond, but most of all, he loved his Mom and Dad.
Jimmer never thought of himself as different. His smile could have been seen from space and he generated such sweetness.    He loved being a part of his community, especially ACHIEVE.  Simply put, Jim loved everything about life.  His love was so strong he had no prejudices and everyone knew they had a friend in Jimmer.

Jimmer will be so sorely missed. He is home with his dad now, he so longed to see him again. He will leave behind a legacy and an impact like no other. Everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him was undoubtedly better because of it. The family would like to deeply thank the staff at ACHIEVE: Cutler Pond, Chapin Street residence and River Side Drive residence for their continued caring and support all these years.

SHEA FUNERAL HOME, INC., 137 Robinson St,, Binghamton on Monday, November 20, 2017 from 4pm until 7pm.   A Funeral Mass in celebration of Jim’s life will be held at 10am on Tuesday, November 21, 2017 at St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Church.
