Storke Funeral Home Obituaries

James Julius Pancaro, 64, passed away at his home in King George, VA on August 21, 2023. Despite the challenges posed by his disabilities, James lived a life of unwavering contentment and grace.

A true embodiment of goodness, James approached life with a positivity that inspired all who knew him. He faced difficulties with remarkable resilience, never uttering a complaint. James was a beacon of peace, and his kind words and compassion never wavered.

In addition to his inner strength, James was a gifted digital artist who found joy in creating beauty through his work. When he wasn’t immersed in his art, he delighted in solving Rubik’s cubes, engaging in computer word games, and finding comfort in the nostalgia of old TV shows.

James was preceded in death by his loving parents, Joe & Betty Pancaro; as well as his dear sister, Victoria Pancaro.

Left to cherish his memory are his devoted brother, Joe Pancaro (Barbara); sister-in-law, Tiffany Pancaro; nephews, Vincent Pancaro and Dominic Pancaro; and niece, Sophia Pancaro.

A funeral mass in celebration of James’s life will be held at 10am on Monday, August 28 at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church. Burial will follow at Historyland Memorial Park.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorial donations be made to the National MS Society (www.nationalmssociety.org) or St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church (https://saintselizabethandanthony.com/building-future-capital-campaign/), causes that were close to James’s heart.
