James Blaisdell Obituary

Blaisdell, James
WYNANSTKILL - It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of James R. Blaisdell, 58, of Wynantskill, on June 24, 2025, beloved husband of Karen (Angrisano) Blaisdell. Jim passed peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family, after a courageous four-year battle with pancreatic cancer.
Jim was born on February 10, 1967, to C. Kent and Martha (Nye) Blaisdell. He grew up in Castleton, N.Y., graduating from Maple Hill High School and Hudson Valley Community College. Jim was a hard-working laborer and loyal employee of M. Sullivan Construction for 35 years and a member of the Laborers Local 190 Union. He coached his son and many other great kids for years at Twin Town Little League and CYO basketball. Jim enjoyed sports, snowmobiling, mowing his lawn, but most especially spending time with his family. He always looked forward to the times when he and his brothers were all together and the fun times that ensued. So many fun and special memories at mom and dad's house.
In addition to his wife and parents, Jim is survived by his two sons, Devin James Blaisdell (Ryen Miron) and Matthew Louis Blaisdell (Kylie Green), of whom he was so very proud. Also surviving are his brothers, Steven (Kim), Scott (Mollie) and Robert (Catherine) Blaisdell; his brother-in-law, Kevin (Debi) Angrisano; nephews, Christopher, Zachary, Daniel, Zane, Neil and Owen Blaisdell, Timothy and Anthony Payton, and Evan Baldwin; and nieces, Donata and Kira Angrisano, and Brooke Baldwin. He was predeceased by his in-laws, Louis and Patricia Angrisano.
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Dr. Madhavi Kambam and staff at NYOH Patroon Creek, and our wonderful team from The Community Hospice for their excellent care and compassion.
Family and friends are invited and may call on Friday, June 27, 2025, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., at the Wynantskill Funeral Home, 294 Whiteview Rd., Wynantskill, with a service immediately following.
