James C. Nagy

February 7, 1957 - December 2, 2012

James C. Nagy, 55, passed away peacefully Sunday December 2, 2012 surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born February 7, 1957 to Paul and Marge (Ellsworth) Nagy who preceded him in death and was a life long resident of Toledo. Jim attended St Catherine of Sienna grade school and graduated from Roy C. Start High School in 1976. Upon graduation Jim followed his father “Papa” and brothers, Paul Sr. and Tom into the professional Iron Workers trade with Local 55. Jim especially enjoyed camping, fishing and any outdoor activity. He also was avid lottery player, never missing a daily trip for tickets, as well as going to the casino. He had an incredible zest for life and an engaging personality. Jim always enjoyed interacting with others and making them laugh with his quick wit. He could move the hearts and minds of others with his smile alone. Left to cherish his memory are his brothers, Paul Jr. and Tom; sisters, Carol Sue Nagy, Theresa (Pat) Bain and Mary (Tim) Gerken; nephews, Christopher and Corey Hicks, Alan Bain and Andy Nagy; nieces, Andrea Bain and Chelsea Gerken; great nephews, Corey and Collin Hetrick and Adrien Bain; great niece Macy Bain. The family owes a debt of gratitude to the compassion and care that was given to Jim throughout his hardships. They would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the entire dedicated staff at Liberty Nursing Center, on Ashland Avenue, who have served Jim with unconditional love and care. The family will receive friends Thursday 3:00-8:00 PM at the Ansberg-West Funeral Home, 3000 Sylvania Avenue.
