James B. Breault

James B. Breault, age 66, of Stanton, Delaware, passed away peacefully on Friday, December 26, 2025 after a short illness.

Jim was born and raised in Delaware and graduated from John Dickinson High School in 1977. He went on to work for Hewlett-Packard where he was employed in the maintenance department for many years and was known for his reliability and strong work ethic.

A talented athlete in his younger years, Jim was a semi-pro baseball player (pitcher) with the PA Brewers, a passion that reflected his lifelong love of sports. He was also an avid football fan and especially enjoyed cheering on the New York Giants and he loved to shoot pool with his friends! Outside of sports, Jim found joy in cooking for family and friends, with his homemade crab cakes being a favorite and fondly remembered by those who knew him.

Jim was preceded in death by his sister, Cheryl Breault Taylor and his father, Donald T. Breault.

He is survived by his loving mother, Barbara Breault; sister, Nancy Tuell (Mike); brother, Don Breault (Wendy), along with extended family and friends who will miss him dearly.

Jim will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, his love of sports and good food, and the time he shared with those closest to him. He was the kind of guy that would give you the shirt off his back.

Service will be held at a later date in the Spring.
