James E. "Jim" Fetty, 80, passed away peacefully at home, on May 18th, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

Jim was born on November 15, 1945, to the late Ernest Fetty and Edna (Crump) Fetty. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his beloved son, Daniel Fetty, and his wife, Patricia McDermitt; sisters, Nancy Keyser, Sally Young, Betty Young, and Zelda Simpkins; and his brothers, Harley "Hank" Fetty and Junior Fetty.

Jim is survived by his brothers, Andrew (Shirley)& David Henry Fetty (Marilyn), Sister, Susie (Bill) Derenberger; his first wife and lifelong best friend, Sandra Fetty (Stover), and their children: Tammy Toops (Kenny), E. Scott Fetty (Melissa), Gaila Wallace, Jimmy Fetty (Angie), Amy Beth Fetty-Matney (Danny), and J. Michael Fetty (Corrie).

He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren: Jamie Beth, Emilee, Kala, Scott, Chelsea, Liam, Cassie, David, GracieJo, Braeden, Katie, Matthew, Cole, Shaea, Adyson, Marlie, and Lyla Jo, along with 17 great-grandchildren, who were truly the pride and joy of his life, along with all his beloved nieces and nephews, whom he always loved as his own .

Jim was a hardworking man who began building a life with Sandra and their children at a very young age. Over the years, he worked for GNC Towing, the Malleable Iron Plant, Point Distributor, and the City of Point Pleasant, as a street inspector. He was also a proud business owner of Fetty's Guns and took on many other jobs throughout his life to provide for his family.

An avid huntsman, trapper, and fisherman, Jim was happiest outdoors. He was gifted with his hands and had a remarkable talent for making his own guns and knives. Jim loved his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and attended House of Praise and Worship and Gospel Lighthouse Church.

Jim was well known for speaking exactly what was on his mind and making sure everyone heard it. His strong spirit, humor, honesty, and unforgettable personality left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him.

Above all else, Jim loved his family with all his heart and soul. His family finds comfort knowing he is now at peace, likely sharpening knives and becoming God's newest soldier.

He will be deeply missed and forever loved.

There will be a memorial service for Jim on Thursday May 21, 2026, at Crow-Hussell Funeral Home, beginning at 6:00 pm.
