James E. Gifford, 74, died peacefully in hospice care surrounded by his family on August 16, 2024.
He was born March 17, 1950, in New London, CT and moved first to Cumberland, RI and finally to Sebastian, FL with his parents. While in RI, he was employed at St. Joseph Hospital in Providence. Thanks to his childhood friends, Peter and Bobby Farrelly, he appeared in the movie, “There’s Something About Mary” in which he asked Cameron Diaz to marry him. He really enjoyed his fifteen minutes of fame.
James is predeceased by his parents, Wallace and Victoria Gifford and his sister Pamela Joel and her husband Lee. He is survived by his brothers Thomas (Janis) Gifford, Charles (Janice) Gifford, sisters Sue (Phillip) LeLievre, Sally (Mark) Riedesel, and many nieces and nephews.
There is no service planned. Donations can be made in his memory to William Childs Hospice House Inpatient Facility, 381 Medplex Parkway, Palm Bay, FL 32905.

To Sue and all the Gifford’s,
I am sorry for the loss of Jimmy. He was such a nice guy and I always enjoyed talking with him when he would sit on the fence that was between your family’s house and ours on Metcalf Drive. Take pride in the fact that he lived a such a productive life and your whole family showed so much love and support. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Rest in sweet peace, Jimmy.
Sincere Condolences,
Barbara Gardner

My sincere condolences and prayers to Charlie, my old high school buddy, and the Gifford family. He was the part of the gang that watched the Boston Bruins in 1969/70 at Metcalf Drive. May God bless him and the Gifford family. He is with God and his angels and now he is an angel of the Gifford family.
