It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, brother and much devoted family member, James Edward Carmichael Sr. He began building his house on September 19, 1944, and final maintenance was completed on October 19, 2025. His kindness, generosity, and unwavering spirit touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege to know him. As we reflect on the moments shared, we remember a life marked by laughter and love.

He was born and raised in the close nit community of Hazard, Kentucky. God and family were taught to be his priorities. James attended an AME church with his mother and accepted Christ in his life at an early age. He is preceded in death by his brother, father, and mother.

James enlisted in the Army in January 1962, and he served our country for 3 years. Once leaving the Army he worked for Allied Movers. He later performed various Machinist jobs but later discovered his true love - Apartment Maintenance. He performed this type of work until his retirement. James could do things with tools that no one else could and he could fix things that would make others scratch their heads for days. He was an exceptional maintenance technician. Throughout his career, he demonstrated unwavering commitment and excellence. In this he had found his passion, in this work he had found his love. He truly gleamed and glistened when going to work.

James leaves behind a great legacy. He touched countless lives through his work, and his memory will live on through many. His family meant the world to him. He leaves behind a loving wife, Vanessa Carmichael, Maple Grove, MN; sister Patricia Leavell, Lexington, KY; brother David (Jessie) Hill, Lexington, KY; sister Betty Gayle (Bill) Combs, of Hazard, KY; brother Thomas (Rebecca) Combs, Manchester, KY; former wife, Katherine Carmichael Grenz (Merle), Louisville, KY; son James (Terry) Carmichael Jr., Junction City, KY; son David Carmichael, Hazard, KY; son Robert Carmichael, Hazard, KY son James Williams, Hazard, KY; daughter Kathryn Feshia Carmichael, Louisville, KY; son Brett Carmichael, Maple Grove, MN; daughter Brianne Carmichael, Maple Grove MN; honorary son Jonathan (Tina) Williams, Maple Grove, MN; devoted nephew Paul (Sherry) Hamilton Lexington, KY and a host of nieces, grandsons, granddaughters, great grandchildren, cousins, and friends.

We will miss the joy and liveliness James brought on every special family occasion. We have lost our family historian. Although he is gone from our sight, he will remain forever in our hearts.

A memorial service will be held in Hazard, Kentucky for James at a later date.
