PHONE: (972) 562-2601 James "Jimmy" A. Maselli September 1, 1982 - March 8, 2015 James (Jimmy) Anthony Maselli, 32 years old, a faithful servant of the Lord, peacefully and mercifully passed from this earthly life to his permanent home in Heaven to be with Jesus on Sunday, March 8, 2015. Jimmy was born on September 1, 1982 in Huntington, NY to Diana and James Maselli. Jimmy graduated from Marcos Deniza High School in Tempe, AZ. where he excelled in baseball, wrestling and auto shop. Jimmy loved sports, especially his beloved New York Yankees. He also loved to work on the BMX bikes he collected and restored. He shared his love of baseball and bikes with all his children, and he will forever be remembered by these priceless hobbies! Jimmy and his family moved from Arizona to Texas in 2006, in search of a fresh start and more productive life for their children. In 2008, the family became members of Genesis Metro Church in Frisco where they faithfully served weekly. Jimmy and his wife, Joy, loved to work and serve together. In 2011, their entrepreneurial spirit was ignited as they established Maselli s Coffee House. They turned their passion for food and service into a successful business for a few years, before closing its doors to focus on serving their family and their church as leaders of the GM Perks Coffee Bar. Jimmy and Joy were always available to help those in crisis situations, and were faithful servant-leaders through Marriage Mentors. Their godly counsel and sound advice helped to save many marriages through the years. Jimmy was an extremely loyal and faithful businessman, working hard until the very end. Even recently, working towards a promotion to provide a more secure lifestyle for his family. Jimmy s steadfast faith in God and his loyalty to family stand as strong pillars in the Maselli home. Jimmy taught their children the importance of praying and living in the Word of God daily, and they continue to live out his fierce loyalty to family, and his rich love for the God he so deeply believed in and served. Jimmy worked hard to instill a high respect for responsibility and independence in each of his children. Their daughter, Valerie, is the apple of his eye, and their sons, Nathan and Mikey, are his best and closest buddies. He loved spending time with his
children, and was very proud of their accomplishments. He loved them unconditionally! Their family loves to have fun, and family nights are a big deal at the Maselli house! These nights of popcorn, movies and games have made many memories for them to relish; memories of special times with Jimmy that Joy and the kids will treasure forever. Jimmy leaves behind his lovingly devoted wife, Joy, who shares the same desire to serve others as he did; their daughter, Valerie; their son, Nathan, who faithfully prayed for and witnessed God s miracle of Jimmy s brother s salvation while at the hospital as Jimmy courageously fought for his life, and their son, Mikey, who is full of life, love and laughter and who carries Jimmy s spirit with him. Their children love to pray, read scripture, and serve others just as they witnessed their father do independently and in partnership with Joy. Jimmy is also survived by his grandfather, George Maselli; his father, James Maselli and his wife, Donna; his mother, Diana Abate Bhattacharyya and her husband, Bidyut; his sister, Deanna Maselli and her children, Frankie, Ashlyn and Joey Flores; his brother, Nicky Maselli and his children Anthony, Jimmy and Nicky Maselli; and many aunts and uncles, and brothers and sisters in Christ. Preceding Jimmy in death is his grandmother, Ann Abate. While Jimmy worships our Lord face-to-face, we know that his prayer would be that we serve our Lord steadfastly and faithfully here on earth. Let us continue to serve as Jimmy served. 2 Timothy 4:7 sums up Jimmy s service to the Lord while on earth, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

You were my best friend. So many times I have picked up my phone to call you and am reminded that you aren't here. This world has been cold and dark foe without you. we talked everyday about everything and you always listened and made me feel better or laugh. I miss you calling me on your lunch breaks, just to tell me what fast food bathroom you were crapping in... lol You know, I couldn't understand why God took you so soon. I was mad at him for so long. You were amazing, good natured. You lived by the lord and his word. Then God spoke to me and told me that you have served all you needed to. You were perfect. you did everything right. You earned your way to Heaven and you got to go. You are the lucky one. I love you and I am so proud of you always. I will never stop reminding my kids what a great Uncle they had and being the best Aunt I can to my niece and nephews. I miss you dearly. Please continue to watch over us and give Nanny a big kiss and hug for me. I pray that the day comes when we can all reunite. DEANNA MASELLI, NOVEMBER 7, 2015 My deepest condolences to the Maselli family. James has and will always be missed. Since I became a Team Lead he was one of the managers that looked very mean but were very kind at heart and nice. He helped me when my manager was not around and definitely made me laugh every day I worked with him. He would always come by and say" Did you say you were going to Taco Bell??" lol. or " Hey did you bring me a Frappuccino?" He was a character but very smart man. Mr. Mafioso he called himself. Maselli you are very missed. May the lord have patience for you next to him. :) ADRIANA MUNOZ, APRIL 6, 2015 James was my supervisor a couple of years ago but made an everlasting
impression. He was truly an honest, kind and inspirational leader. My heart and condolences goes out to his entire family! May God give you strength and understanding.

The service was special, and showed what a great man James was. I wish I would have kept in touch with him, but lost contact after moving jobs. His life on earth was short, but the impact he made during that time to those he surrounded himself with was impressive. Maselli will be missed.

JOSE VENTURA, MARCH 10, 2015 What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more laughter, we (Onemain employees) may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived.
