On Sunday, October 18, 2020, James Joseph Rigney III passed away unexpectedly at Saratoga Hospital, he was 34 years young.
Born on February 18, 1986 James was the eldest son of James and Kathleen Rigney. He protected his three younger siblings fully and loved them fiercely. James was born with a heart of gold and a smile that would always light up the room.
Graduating High school in 2004, James went on to graduate with a Bachelor's in Accounting from Siena College in 2008. While, attending Siena College, James participated in numerous sports such as Lacrosse and Rugby. Continuing his passion for sports and exercise James went on to become a young entrepeneur and opened his fitness company, REZULTZ Training.
James was always searching for ways to challenge himself. He quickly discovered a love for building and working with his hands. Always teaching himself new skills and with the help of close friends, James was able to take his enthusiasm for construction and turn it into what he would later describe as his calling in life.
In his free time, James loved spending time at home where he could be found either admiring his waterfalls, riding his ATV, spending time with friends and family, or building his home from the ground up. He took great joy in spontaneous road trips, new adventures and never passing up the chance to appreciate a beautiful sunset.
He is survived by his Mother and Father, James & Kathleen Rigney, his three siblings Chris Rigney, Tarah Rigney, and Rachel Blankenship (Greg).
Service information is located on the Lindenhurst Funeral Home website. Due to COVID, we will be honoring James with a celebration of life to be held in Upstate New York at a later date.
