The world unexpectedly lost James D. Smallwood Jr., 59, on May 20, 2025. Jim, affectionately known as Jimmy to his friends, was a sweet, kind soul who loved golf, gadgets, and animals. His childlike enthusiasm was always on display, and he always had time to talk about his newest golf club or his air fryer on the app.

He loved spending time with his parents, brothers, nephews, and many friends. He will surely be missed by all.

Jim graduated from Manheim Township High School, Class of 1983, where he played on the golf team for three years. After high school, he attended Hill Top Prep for one year. It was there that he learned to study, played on the school's basketball team, and made lifelong friends he stayed in touch with.

After Hill Top, he attended Davis & Elkins College, graduating with a degree in Communications. He proudly played on the college golf team for four years.

Following D&E, he went to YTI in Harrisburg, earning a degree in Computer Science. He spent the next year integrating computer systems at LGH Hospital. He eventually found his place at ASC Engineering Solutions in Columbia, PA.

Jim also ran a small side business driving family and friends to the airport. It was on one of these trips that he passed away.

A memorial mass will be held on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 11:00 AM at St. John Neumann Catholic Church, 601 E Delp Rd, Lancaster, PA 17601.
