James (Jim) Coutant

September 05, 1954 ~ April 07, 2025

Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James (Jim) Coutant, who departed this life peacefully on April 7, 2025, at the age of 70. Jim was born on September 5, 1954, in Ossining, New York, to Frederick and Vilma Coutant.

He was a proud father to Shannon Ferry of Satellite Beach, Florida and James Coutant of Poultney, Vermont. He was a grandfather to five grandchildren; Kenneth, Skyler, Jacob, Dylan, and Jolee. He enjoyed his career as a carpenter which he was still doing on a part time basis. He adored Beau, his Labrador mix dog who sincerely was his best friend. Jim loved NASCAR, when Tony Stewart was racing and he was a Buffalo Bills enthusiast. Jim went to several NASCAR races with his son and grandson. He enjoyed going fishing and relaxing by the river with his brother. He also took great pride in doing maintenance on his car and always willing to help his children and grandchildren with their vehicles as well. Jim was a friend of the Zonta Club of Melbourne and volunteered multiple times at the quarterly causeway cleanups where he was loved by all the members.

The pride and love he had for his family and his pet will never be forgotten. Jim will be incredibly missed. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, September 20, 2025 in upstate New York.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donation to your local animal shelters/fosters that specifically help those animals in which their owner is in the hospital or hospice and is unable to care for them.

Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.

A man who knew who was the best nascar driver “Tony Stewart” and the best football team “Buffalo Bills”. A man who loved his family and was there for them. R.I.P Jim!! May God Bless you!

The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
