Age 66, of Lower Burrell, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Monday, February 24, 2025.   Beloved husband of 45 years to Denise Marsico Buckey; loving father of Nina Bordick (Tyler), James Alan Buckey, II, and Brendan Buckey (fiance, Jaysa); cherished grandfather of Eastyn Buckey and Rhett Bordick; dear brother of Edward Buckey (Kristin) and the late Robert Buckey (surviving wife, Leana); and by his faithful companion, Ollie.  

James was a graduate of Fox Chapel High School, where he met the love of his life, Denise. He worked as a software engineer at Siemens, where he dedicated many years to his profession. Outside of his career, James had a deep love for the outdoors, enjoying mountain biking and fishing. Above all, he treasured time spent with his children and grandchildren.
