To Vicky, her sons and all of the Carabajal family, we give our most sincere condolences on the passing of Jimmy. Our fondest memories are of growing up in the neighborhood surrounded by loving families and friends. The Carabajal family was especially remembered because everyone in that large family was not only beautiful, but kind. We are with you in your sorrow and offer prayers for Jimmy.

I remember Jimmy from high school and the class reunions that we attended together. I believe he took most of the pictures at the class reunions. Rest with God Jimmy.

Had classes with Jim in high school, and worked with him at Houston photo products before I joined the navy and after I served my time and earned my discharge. Without a doubt, Jim was one of the nicest guys I have had the privalege to know. I am sure God accepted him with open arms. If you can hear me Jim , may you be forever in the arms of God.

What a great man and friend. Had known Jimmy for around 70 years when his family lived around 15th Ave and we lived on Magnolia. Later both families moved to Walnut Ave within a block of each other. So many fond memories. Picture from our 50th High School Reunion nine years ago.

Our most sincere condolences on the loss of Jimmy. Growing up across the street (Walnut Avenue) from the Carbajal family was truly a gift and a blessing. To have neighbors/friends of such a large and loving family, such as that of Pisa and Lita, was an experience of a lifetime that can never be forgotten. To you Vicky and your family may our Lord Jesus Christ bring you peace in this most difficult time. To Jimmy's siblings: Sony, Clyde, Ronnie, Lorraine and especially Olivia (my dear friend), my prayers are with all of you. With all my love,

I'm so very sorry for your loss! I had the pleasure of having coffee with Jimmy when I would take my father, Jose Luis, to Brownie's Cafe. My father was also employed by Houston International too. I'm sure they shared many memories! Jimmy always had a beautiful smile and a very welcoming disposition!
