Obituary
Jim Causky unexpectedly passed away on March 29, 2019 at the age of 59. He is survived by his wife Caroline, and daughters Kelly and Allison. He is also survived by his sister Debi, and many other loved ones, including brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, a nephew, and lifelong friends.
Jim was born on August 4, 1959 in Lakewood, California. He grew up in Rossmoor with friends he had for over 50 years. He excelled in sports, particularly baseball. He played as a boy, at Los Alamitos High School, and through college at Pepperdine University. He enjoyed success for over 30 years in aerospace sales, most recently self-employed with his wife at CauskyRandall Sales, Inc.
Jim made many, many friends all along the way.
But Jim was certainly not all work. He coached his daughters in softball, golfed, watched sports and horses, dined with friends and family, and vacationed. He proudly watched his daughters graduate from high school and from college. He supported them in all of their pursuits -playing softball, riding horses, travelling the globe, finding jobs, and everything else -and beamed when sharing their accomplishments.
Once empty nesters, Jim and Caroline sold their home in Mission Viejo and moved to Dana Point near the beach. Together they have enjoyed the ocean view, travelling, horses, and spending time with loved ones. Just recently they visited the Virgin Islands, Miami, Las Vegas, Canada, Kentucky, Bermuda, Del Mar, New Hampshire, Costa Rica, New York, Alaska, and Lake Tahoe.
Many, many loved ones mourn that Jim Causky left us too soon.

We first met Jim Causky when he purchased his sisters home in Laguna Niguel and became our next door neighbor. From that moment on we became good friends. Jimmy was a HUGE sports fan with a lively personality. He could light up a room with his smile and zest for life. Some of our best memories of Jim include the following:
– taking a family vacation together to the Big Island of Hawaii
– meeting at the bar every Spring to select Angel season tickets with the best seats in the Diamond Club
– Playing on the same men’s softball team ( a former college baseball player at Pepperdine he was my natural “ringer”)
– getting together during Super Bowl parties
– watching our children grow up together
– keeping an eye on our weird neighbor Ted who we swore killed the Causky cat
– playing golf ( Jimmy sure could crush that ball)
– betting on the “ponies”…
– shooting the shit over a couple of Coors Lites
I’m sure Jimmy will be one of God’s Angels.
RIP dear friend ….Jim, Lillian, Stephen and Kristyn Ferguson

The first time we met Jim was when Jonny was taking pics at the Causki’s for Kelly’s HS Jr prom. Tina and I were greeted at the door by Caroline and this beeping smile on Jim and the first thing he said was, “I think Jonny and Kelly are going to be together forever”! Or something close to that! I said woah slow down! Seemed every time we were together it was to celebrate an achievement or milestone of some kind with Jonny and Kelly. We were and are constantly in awe of our kids. This pic is from a pub close to their downtown LA studio appt taken the day we all got together to help move them in. We as always were celebrating our kids as they made big moves navigating their lives. Jonny to LA city fire dept and Kelly to law school.

“Tears are words that need to be written”
I am just a Bartender.
Jimmy was a member for a short time at the Golf Club of California.
He never made me feel subservient or a service employee. He made me feel very special in light of my situation. Jimmy was genuine from the moment he was introduced. No wonder he has life-long friends. People gravitate toward a sincere soul and Jimmy Causky was all that and more!
No matter how long it had been since his last visit; I would quickly gather a champagne bucket full of iced Coors Light,and he would stop me and say ‘Stop! Waite! How’s the family, first?’ We used to talk about our daughters growing up ‘way too soon’ and challenging each other comparing prom or formal wear that was way too risqué for our precious daughters! But we both new our girls were fine and it’s ‘just the times’ we live. Our conversations were always centered around love and family. He loved to talk and share his photos of all of his family. He was a very proud and generous man in so very many ways. Acutely, aware of his surroundings and the disguishing ability to make everyone feel special, unique, and loved for who they are no matter what their circumstances. His presence was felt as if ‘he were always your good friend’. Actually, everybody’s good friend and we had all always come to look forward in seeing him when he would come to visit. I cried that day I heard the news; selfish in my thoughts that I would never get to see him again. Remembering Jimmy is easy. His smile, his laugh, his joking around and mostly for his appreciation for human interaction. My heart and soul are lifted because I knew Jimmy. What a beautiful man!
‘Don’t cry because its over, smile because Jimmy Happened!’
,.Thats what I tell myself,
I love you Jimmy Causky!
Big Hugs
