James Ono Obituary
Jim was born on July 21, 1938, in Pasco, WA, to Toshio and Sawayo Ono. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Jim is survived by his wife, Delores Ono; his children, Shannon Ono and Tyler Ono; and his grandchildren, Theron, Aysha, and Avery Ono. He was preceded in death by Eddie, Hieto, Johnny, Bobby, Tommy, Toshiko, and Fumi Ono.
Jim was loved by many. Almost everyone who knew him has a story involving "Jimmy" whether it was out hunting or fishing, sharing a laugh in the kitchen, or teaching someone a life skill they would carry forever. His presence, humor, and stubbornness left an impression on everyone who met him. He wasn't always quick to say "I love you," but his actions always spoke louder, and he was ready to support people who needed him.
The celebration of life is yet to be determined by the family.

So sorry hearing about Jim's passing. I had the honor of working with Jimmy, sharing his fish and game delicacies at breaks and our many fishing trips also. A great guy who for me was a privilege to know.
