James Alan Gatton, born June 17, 1965, and Tammy Ann Gatton, born October 8, 1967, passed away on August 13, 2026.

James and Tammy shared a life devoted to their family. They were loving parents and proud grandparents, known affectionately to their grandchildren as Papa and Nana. Their children and grandchildren meant everything to them, and the love they had for their family will remain an important part of their legacy.

James will be remembered for his sense of humor, his love for his family, and the many stories and memories he created throughout the years. He was someone his children could call for advice, help, or simply a conversation.

Tammy will be remembered for her love and devotion to her family, her caring heart, and the important role she played in the lives of her children and grandchildren.

Together, James and Tammy built a family filled with memories, laughter, faith, and love. Their family will remember the everyday moments just as much as the milestones—the phone calls, conversations, family gatherings, jokes, advice, and time spent together.

Above all, their grandchildren will remember them as Nana and Papa, who loved them fiercely and treasured the time they had together.

James and Tammy leave behind their children, grandchildren, extended family, and many friends who will deeply miss their presence.

A memorial service for James and Tammy Gatton will be held Thursday, September 3, 2026, at Faith Baptist Church, 8519 S. 13th Street, Oak Creek, Wisconsin. Doors will open at 5:00 p.m., with the service beginning at 6:00 p.m. Dessert and refreshments will follow.

James and Tammy will be deeply missed and forever remembered by those who knew and loved them.

Forever Mom and Dad. Forever Nana and Papa. Forever loved.
