James E. Sword, 41, a lifelong resident of Rochester, lost his battle with drug addiction on Monday, June 3, 2019, just two years after his loving wife Ava, died from the same epidemic. His family hopes that through their deaths some good may shine through, and others might be spared from the loss that James' family is now enduring.

James was preceded in death by his wife Ava in 2017.
James was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting, fishing, mushroom hunting, camping and mowing the yard.
