James S. Sansone, V

On May 18, 1988 James S. Sansone, V was born to James S. Sansone, IV and Maricia Bloodwirth Sansone. Sadly, his life ended on Friday, July 29th of 2022 leaving a huge void in the hearts of his loved ones.
James, affectionately known as "Lil Jimmy" was best known for his incredible loyalty and unconditional love for family and friends. Lil Jimmy was (and still is) an Artist, Poet, Rapper, Jokester, Entrepreneur, Influencer, and a big kid at heart. Celebrated for his whimsical and clever lyrics, bold, urban couture street style, and Japanese cartoon collectibles made a lasting imprint in music and the thousands of customers he served while working at Peaches Records and Dosage Apparel & Design. Those blessed to know him compared his smile to the lights on Broadway--a smile that instantly lit up a room when entering and forced anger to rest. His journey as a young, gifted Black King passing through, lasting only a brief 34 years, now has an infinite number of lifetimes to explore a better place--God's dwelling place.
Lil Jimmy attended Our Lady Star of the Sea, Resurrection Catholic School, Hynes, Vernon Haynes, Live Oak High School and Grace King.
