JK was an exceptional Tech within our Avionics repair section. James had a great sense of humor ! We had a few epic times out in the San Diego area !
James had a quiet way of showing love that made you feel cared for without him ever needing to say a word. Every Christmas, he somehow picked the exact gift you didn’t know you needed — an external charger, a solar lantern, a car battery jump starter, a fire starter. They were always practical, always useful, and somehow always perfect. His gifts made you feel safer, prepared, and looked after long after the holidays had passed.
That was who James was. He cared in the small moments that added up to something big. He never let anyone leave without walking them out, making sure they got to their car safely, standing there until he knew everything was okay. It was his gentle way of saying, “You matter. I’m here.”
James was the kindest man — steady, thoughtful, and generous in ways that truly made a difference. His presence was a comfort, his kindness a constant, and his memory will always feel like a warm light we get to carry forward.
He will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
Oh James, I still cannot believe you are gone. I will miss you singing to me 🎶 Joy and Pain, Sunshine and Rain 🎵 every time you saw me! Thank you for your service Marine. Thank you for your friendship and most of all, thank you for loving Kim. May your light continue to shine brightly in all of our hearts. 💔❤️🕯️
Sending condolences to James' family; you are in our thoughts.
These trees were planted by Ben Swerk and the Team at Electrocom. We will always cherish the relationship we had with James throughout the years.
James will always be apart of our family. James and Kim were together for over 20 years, each bringing laughter and love to all of us. We will miss his delicious rice and pork chop dinners. He was a great chef. Playing cards with him always made you smile and enjoy his joking. Like when he would say "cheating allowed girls ". But don't tell mom. We will miss him and remember him always. What a wonderful gift God gave to all of us. Love dad and mom Wilbur. ❤️
