James Andrew Danos, 30, of South Pymatuning Twp., passed away on Saturday, September 19, 2020.

James was born July 25, 1990, in Sharon, a son of George and Dian (Martell) Danos, Jr. He attended Sharpsville High School and was a 2009 graduate of Keystone Charter School, Greenville.

He was employed by Seasonal Services Landscaping, Hermitage and was an independent contractor for the Herald Newspaper, Sharon.

An avid outdoorman, James' life revolved around hunting and fishing; he had a wealth of knowledge in the field and was considered a valuable resource to many of his friends. He was a member of PA Fish and Field, Fish West PA, and a founding member of Keystone Outdoors. One of his proudest moments as a sportsman was when he was featured in an article of the PA Game News, for his outstanding trophy deer shot in the Pymatuning State Park Propagation Area, Crawford County, PA (PA Game News Magazine, October 2009 Issue, "The Pymatuning Monarch").

James was someone who everyone could count on, no matter where or what he was involved in. Anyone who met him, loved to be around him and he will be missed by many.

He is survived by his parents, of South Pymatuning Twp.; two sisters, Leslie Farris and her husband Stephen, of Concord Twp., OH, and Kimberly Beckman and her husband Michael, of Hermitage; his paternal grandmother, Patricia Danos, of Sharon; two nephews, Owen Lutz and Michael Beckman; many aunts, uncles and cousins; and to many incredible friends to list.

James was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, John and Marlene Martell; paternal grandfather, George Danos, Sr.; and his closest hunting buddy, Smith, his black lab.

The family suggests memorial contributions be directed to Hunt of a Lifetime Foundation, Erie Chapter, 6297 Buffalo Rd., Harborcreek, PA 16421.
