AUBURN — James John Vallee, 49, a resident of Auburn, passed away unexpectedly at his home Sunday, Feb. 18.

He was born in Lewiston on Aug. 4, 1968, the son of Bertrand and Maryann (Asselin) Vallee. Jimmy was educated in Auburn schools and graduated from Edward Little.

He worked in the asbestos abatement industry for most of his life, but was currently employed by his longtime friend, Steve Charest, owner and operator of SLC Electrical.

He was an avid NASCAR fan and would enjoy spending time watching the races on Sunday.

Jimmy was a kind, caring, loving and loyal person who always had the time to help others. Whether it be friends or family, he was always there, and you could count on him to lend a hand. He would do anything for anyone, and he always did it with a smile on his face. We will all forever miss that Jimmy smile.

The loves of his life were his children, Brian, Courtney and Brett. He was so proud of them all. He recently became a pepere for the first time, to a grandson, Emerson James Duquette. This new addition to the family was a godsend, and he was so looking forward to being a pepere.

Survivors include the mother of his children, Sherri Vallee, of New Gloucester; a stepson, Brian Leighton, and his wife, Molly, of Marlborough, Mass.; a daughter, Courtney, and her partner, Jeff Duquette, of New Gloucester; a son, Brett Vallee, of Lewiston; his mother, Maryann Vallee, of Auburn; brothers, Marc Vallee of Lewiston, Michael Vallee of Auburn, and Steve Vallee and his wife, Joline, of Auburn; sisters, Joline Vallee of Gray, and Linda Brewer of Lisbon. Also surviving are many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was predeceased by his father, Bertrand Vallee; and the companion of his brother Michael, Pamela Bartlett.
