James Edward Budzak

James Edward Budzak, age 55, of Ambridge PA, passed away on May 20, 2025.

He was a devoted husband, a beloved son, a cherished brother, and above all a loving father. Jim is survived by his wife, Patti; his beautiful children, Henry and Holly; his mother, Constance; his sisters, Kindra and Erica; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear family members who will miss him deeply. He was preceded in death by his father, James Anthony Budzak.

Jim was a proud graduate of Penn State University and Duquesne University School of Law. An accomplished practical joker, he could always make us laugh and no one was exempt from his teasing ways. When not reading his spy novels, he could be found walking his many daily miles on his treadmill or at the local park. Without a doubt his greatest joy in life was being a father, and he loved his children more than anything. A favorite pastime was proudly watching Henry’s wrestling matches or Holly’s flag football games, coffee mug always in hand.

Though his time with us was far too short, the love he shared will continue to live on in the hearts of his family and all who knew him.

Services will be private for the family.
