James C. Jappert, born June 26, 1943, passed away on October 1, 2021, surrounded by family and friends. He is now free from pain and reunited with his beloved wife Barbara and his son James.
Jim joined the Navy at a young age and over many years pursued other careers including driving semi-trucks across country and even recently, driving a taxi in Crescent City. He enjoyed spending time with his family and his dog Penny. He recently drove his truck on a long trip with his Great Grandson Keagan Tucker and Granddaughter Kylie Thompson to a family reunion, creating memories that they will never forget. He was an amazingly strong man, both in heart and spirit.
James would help anyone in need and never asked anything in return. He was a loving father, stepfather, grandfather, and friend to many. He is deeply loved and will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
Jim is survived by his sister Jackie Jappert, children Donna and Michael Jappert, stepchildren Sandra DelaTorre, Denise Thompson and David Thompson, his cousin Terry Jo McFarland, daughter in law April Jappert, granddaughters Nicole, Erin, and Minnie Jappert, as well as various nieces and nephews and adopted grandchildren and great grandchildren.
He was sadly preceded in death by his wife Barbara and son James.
His funeral will be held at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery in Dixon, California on November 4, 2021, at 1:00 pm.
