Mr. James L. LaPlante

March 30, 1986 - November 14, 2021

Mr. James Lloyd LaPlante, 35, passed away suddenly on Sunday, November 14, 2021. Born in Pittsfield, MA, on March 30, 1986, the son of Richard LaPlante and Kim Brookman Aylesworth, he graduated from Taconic High School with the class of 2004. James was a carpenter by trade. He was an avid Bruins fan and a tender cat lover. Among many things, he enjoyed riding his dirt bike, crumblin’ herb, walking in the woods, going on adventures, and hanging out with family and friends. James’s death is grieved deeply by his parents, Richard and Kim. He also leaves behind his only child, Bailey LaPlante, whom he loved more than anything; his sister Angie LaPlante Burgess and brother in law Benjamin Burgess; his grandparents Nancy Barnum, Louis Brookman, Lloyd and Ann LaPlante; his stepfather of many years Alan St. Pierre, Sr.; his aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and many who considered him part of the family even if he technically wasn’t; countless friends and coworkers who cherished his big smile and huge laugh. James was predeceased by his beloved great-grandmother Ruth McKnight who passed away in 2011, his older brother David LaPlante and dear cousin Nathaniel Newton who were both lost in 2017, and too many other family members and friends in recent years. James was his mom and dad’s baby forever, best friend to many, a deeply sensitive soul but also the life of the party, he always knew how to make everyone laugh and have fun. He’ll be sorely missed and his memory held close always. Funeral Notice: Funeral services for Mr. James LaPlante will be Wednesday, November 24, 2021, at 6 p.m. at the Dwyer Funeral Home, 776 North Street, Pittsfield, MA 01201, with the Rev. Jason Corbett officiating. Calling hours at the funeral home will be held prior to the service from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. Due to the recent rise in Covid cases, all those who attend will be asked to wear face masks.
