James "Jim/Hambone" Stockinger,

of New Brighton, MN, age 52, died suddenly of a brain aneurysm. Jim had the biggest heart and loved all activities outdoors. He was an avid fisherman and hunter and spent a lifetime with family and friends pursuing these passions. Jim enjoyed spending time with his nieces and nephews celebrating all of their accomplishments. He attended St. Charles School and was an Edison High School graduate. Following graduation, he pursued a career in the facilities sector.

A profound loss is felt by his family.

In keeping with Jim's kind and generous spirit, it was his wish to give with the gift of life through organ donation.
