James was born in Lynn, MA to the late James and Mary McCarron Sr.
Jim grew up in Peabody, MA but spent his summers on the beach in Manomet, MA. He graduated from St. John's Prep School and from there he attended Providence College.

Jim enjoyed being by the water, clamming, gardening, family trips, watching movies and the New England Patriots. Most of all, he loved family time, sharing it with his best friend and wife, Nancy, especially watching their son, James compete in road races, cross country and track meets. He would be there cheering him on loudly and ringing that gigantic cowbell. He had a passion for fishing and was always preparing for the fishing season and he loved to enter fishing tournaments with his friends.
