James Walsh Obituary

JAMES ELLIOT WALSH "Jimmy" Jim "Jimmy" Walsh of Norco, CA, died on August 25, 2015 at the age of 68 in his favorite recliner.

He served in the Army and was stationed at Fort Davis, Colon, Panama. Jim was preceded in death by his parents and brother Tom. He is survived by his brother Bill (wife Teri); sister Carolyn (husband Jerry); nephews Cole and Hunter; and niece Jennifer. Jim's love of family, honor to country, and service to others prepared him for his most rewarding vocations during his retirement. Jim was the past president of the Norco Horse Association, avid supporter of Norco High FFA, a member of the Norco Saddle Sore Riders, active in AQHA, a member of the VFW Men's Auxiliary. Jim is the 21st District Boys State Chairman. He proudly served as the 3rd Vice Commander for the Children/Youth of the American Legion Norco Post 328 while participating in the 40/8. Graveside Services will be held at Riverside National Cemetery on Thursday, Sept. 3 at 12pm, staging area #1. Jim's life will be celebrated afterwards at Post 328, 3888 Old Hamner Rd, Norco, 92860.

Jim, You were the best big brother. You had the qualities that a friend needs to be a true friend. You put the needs of others before your own. You loved God, Family, and Country. You honored all by your service to youth in the community. We will love you forever. Job well done.

Jim, we had a lot of good years as "partners in crime" promoting NHSA, producing horse shows and banquets, halloween contests, Santa Clause shopping, futurities... So many dinners at Pat's Kitchen and the Steer Grill. We had our differences but we were always friends. Rest easy now, Jim. It's your turn to supervise. We will miss you.

Jimmy, you will always remain in my heart. Thank you for always being there to help me when I didn't even know I needed help, for introducing me to things I didn't even know I wanted to do, and most of all, for being a "brother" to a lost little girl in this crazy world! Life just got a lot harder for so many people now that you're not here to help! You will be missed so much! Love you, Jimmy! Xoxo, Skeeter
