James's obituary

James Robert Tragarz, 65, of Lansing passed away Friday, August 21, 2020 surrounded by his loving family.

Born March 8, 1955 James was the son of Richard and Alice Tragarz. He was raised in Burbank IL and was a graduate of Reavis High School. Since his high school days, James loved cars and the occasional street light to street light race. He continued his passion for cars by opening an automotive repair shop and tow trucks, which he was most proud of. James was an old school guy who enjoyed drag racing, anything fast and using his hands to fix cars, motorcycles (especially Harleys) or anything he set his mind to. James married his beloved wife Jocelyn in Jamaica and they enjoyed taking motorcycle rides and fishing trips, especially in Michigan. He will be truly missed by all of those who knew him.

He is survived by his cherished wife Jocelyn: daughters Alaynna Tragarz (Bolingbrook), Robyn Radice (Texas): step sons Jacob Full (Chicago), Justin Full ( Bolingbrook), and Jordan Full ( Aurora): 3 grandsons and many many friends.

James is preceded in death by his parents Richard and Alice.

A celebration of life memorial will be held Saturday September 12, 2020 in the afternoon at the home of the deceased.
Arrangements entrusted to AquaGreen Dispositions, 708-606-0211.
