On Tuesday April 30, at the age of 58, Jim Sheehan fell into an eternal sleep with his wife Sabra's hands in his. Jim leaves behind his wife Sabra, and the children that were the joy of his life, Corey Sheehan, Katera Luzadder and her husband Chad, his granddaughter Ella James, and his son Cullen Sheehan. Jim is survived by his mother Betty (Canary) Sheehan wife of the late Lou Sheehan and his seven sisters and their husbands, Kathy and Rich Valentino, Patty and Rob Guerriere, May Anne Thompson, Beth and Joe Gibson, Eileen Rush, Joni and Ed Hundzienski, and Peggy and Randy Trefnoff as well as his Sabra's brothers and sisters and their wives Robin and Roberta Shoop, Charlie and Linda Murphy, and Tim and Julie Sheehan and a multitude of cousins, nieces, and nephews. Jim traveled across the country after graduating high school. After his travels he spent his life building things, helping friends and family, and genuinely bringing happiness to the people that he touched. Jim was a union carpenter, a devoted husband, father and loving grandfather, and a genuine friend to all that knew him. Jim taught everyone who knew him about patience and kindness. He took control of what was in his power and accepted life's challenges as they came. Last summer he learned of his biggest challenge, inoperable lung cancer. Jim was determined to battle cancer with the same resilience that he demonstrated during his life. He fought his last battle bravely and without complaint. Jim will certainly be missed here on earth, but his friends and family know that he is now in a much better place with the Lord. A Graveside funeral service will be held Thursday May 2, 2013 at 11:30 a.m. at Forest Lawn Gardens, McMurray. All those wishing to follow in the procession may meet at Nichol Funeral Home 1873 East Maiden Street Washington, PA 15301 by 10:30 a.m. An online guestbook may be signed at www.nicholfuneralhome.com
