James Carver Sweet was born on April 4, 1952 to Merle and Kathryn Sweet in Pasadena, Ca.  Jim was always proud of the fact he was a 4th generation Californian. Jim passed away on July 29, 2017 with his entire family surrounding him with love.

He grew up in Southern California and graduated from Azusa High School in 1970.  After graduation, he attended Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, CA.  Jim married Karen Dutremble in 1985 and later moved to Oceanside, CA.

Living in California Jim developed a passion for many things but his favorite hobbies and pastimes included baseball, boating, cars, John Wayne, woodworking and golf.  His grandfather taught him about woodworking and it was a passion that Jim enjoyed all his life.

Jim’s professional career included many years as a sales representative and executive in the automation industry.  In the last decade Jim spent his time doing woodworking and design. 

Jim was most proud of his three children April, Nora and Carver.  He loved them with all his heart.

Jim and Susan spent the past 20 years of their life together doing what they truly enjoyed.  Their friends from Shadowridge Golf Club and traveling gave them great joy.  The friendships they developed have proven to be life long and rewarding. 

Jim Sweet had a heart of gold.  He would help anyone in need and loved to do so.  One thing about Jim, he truly lived the life he wanted.  He enjoyed his life and never complained about anything.

Jim was a wonderful partner, father, friend, Cook, golfer, and overall terrific man.

We will miss him terribly and he will never be replaced in our hearts.

Rest in Peace Jimmy, you deserve eternal peace. We love you very much.
