Mr. James “Jimmy K” D. Kazijian, 65, of Bellingham, died Thursday morning, June 3rd, 2021 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He passed away at his residence while surrounded by his loving family.
Jimmy was born on December 15th, 1955 in Natick, the son of Ellien Morrissey and the late James Kazijian. He was the oldest of five children and grew up with his family in Franklin. He attended Franklin High School and was a member of the class of 1974. He went on to pursue technical and trade education that became the foundation for his successful HVAC business, Baystate Heating and Air Conditioning.
Family was the most important part of his life. Jimmy is survived by his beloved wife Jeanne Lucas (formerly of Franklin) and his three children: Ashley Kazijian, Ryan Kazijian, and Nicole Kazijian. He is also survived by his siblings: Doreen Kazijian, Debbie Rojas, and Steven Kazijian. He also leaves behind a grandson, granddaughter, great granddaughter, and many nieces and nephews he loved like his own. He was predeceased by his father James Kazijian and his sister Denise Kazijian.
Jimmy was a lover of fixing things, broken or not, he always had his hands in several home improvement projects. As a licensed Captain, he enjoyed spending time out on the water when he wasn't on the road driving his Harley. He was an avid Red Sox fan and cherished the days he spent at Fenway Park.
His resilience, strength, and hopefulness will never be forgotten.
