“James Ryan Tessier Obituary

James Ryan Tessier, 53, of Orange City, Florida, passed away on March 23, 2026, after a courageous battle with brain cancer.

James was a dedicated and hardworking man, known for his role as a plant manager at Marlborough Plastics for 25 years. He took immense pride in his work, but even more in the life he built and the family he loved so deeply.

Outside of work, James also known as Jim, Jimmy or Jimbo lived life to the fullest. He loved riding his Harley motorcycle, spending time at the beach, listening to country music, and enjoying a cold beer. He had a natural talent for fixing anything and was always the one people could count on when something went wrong. He found happiness in grilling, traveling with his wife to different islands, and making memories in Fort Lauderdale watching the yachts go by. He also appreciated life’s simple comforts—a hot cup of coffee, a great meal at China Pacific or Wright’s Chicken Farm, and being surrounded by the people he loved most.

Above all, James was a devoted husband, father, and proud “Pepe.” His love for his family was unwavering. He took great pride in caring for his wife and children, and his grandchildren, Eiley, Khloe, and Nova, were truly the light of his life. He cherished every moment with them. He was also a loyal fan of the New England Patriots and loved cheering them on.

James is survived by his loving wife, Tammie Tessier; his children, Timothy Tessier and his wife Sarah, Kelly Tessier, and Nikolas Nadeau; and his cherished granddaughters, Eiley, Khloe, and Nova. He is also survived by his mother, Karen Tessier; his brothers, Bruce Tessier and Derrick Tessier and his wife Jessica; his sister, Rachael Percy; and many extended family members and friends who will forever carry his memory in their hearts.

He was preceded in death by his son, Brendan, and his father, James Tessier.

A celebration of life will be held at a future date in Massachusetts, along with a memorial bike ride in his honor.

James will be remembered for his strength, his humor, his resilience, and the deep, unconditional love he had for his family. He fought with courage until the very end, and though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing his love will never leave us. He will be missed more than words can ever express.”
