James Dennis “Jim” Ferreira, age 61, of Granby, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, following injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident in Simsbury, Connecticut. Born in Hartford on March 3, 1963, Jim was the beloved son of the late James and Theresa (Correira) Ferreira. He was a 1981 graduate of Somers High School.
Jim had a long and successful career, most recently working as a CNC Programmer at Aerogear Aerospace, where he had devoted 16 years of service. Prior to that, he worked as a machinist for many years. Jim became known for his meticulous work ethic and commitment to excellence in his field.
Beyond his professional life, Jim was a devoted family man with a love for the outdoors. He enjoyed hiking with his beloved dogs—Riley, River, and Bandit—and had a passion for mountain biking, Manchester United Soccer, and exploring local breweries. His greatest joy, however, was his family. Jim loved spending time with his children. In addition, took immense pride in being a father and a grandfather to his cherished grandson, Oliver. His boys were his world, and he shared countless fond memories of skiing, soccer coaching, movie nights, bike rides, and playground adventures with them.
Jim’s wit, humor, and kindness brightened the lives of everyone who knew him. He was a loving husband to his wife of nine years, Kristi J. (Dionne) Ferreira, and a proud father to his sons, Dylan James Ferreira and his wife Enya of Granby, and Joshua William Ferreira of Granby, as well as his daughter, Sarah N. Bennett of Beverly, MA. His grandson, Oliver, brought him endless joy.
