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.

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.
