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.

Jim was a beam of light in any room. I still recall the day we met. We became fast friends. Over the last 28 years Jim and I worked together closely, travelled together frequently for work. He came to know my family and both Jennifer (my ex) and my children Sean and Erin were devastated in his loss.

Jimmy and I spent a good chunk of time on golf trips, ball games and the like. He was such an amazing man. He was kind, hilarious, generous and had integrity in all he did. I know how much he loved Caroline, Kelly and Ally. Jim was like a brother and one of my closest few friends in life. The world will be a little less with his untimely passing.
From the entire Ballsmith family to the Causky family we send our thoughts, prayers and love.
With deep sympathy
Mike Ballsmith

I met Jimmy when he was just three years old. We had just move to Rossmoor and I was looking for a playmate for Mike and Vic. I knocked on the Causky’s door and the cutest little boy in the world opened it. He asked his his mom if he could come home with me and off we when For the next ten years (until we moved) he brightened our lives almost daily. Mike and Vic were planing to have him join them for a Giants Dodger game when this tragedy happened. He was like a brother to them and a third son to me. I will always be grateful for being able to share a part of his life.
Love
Nancy

Jim meant the world to me especially when I was going through my divorce back in 1998. I had a young son (Connor), who was about 4 at the time and he was taking it pretty hard and within the spectrum of Autism. Jimmy became his best friend and on his business trips he would work with Connor on both his golf game and baseball (he also would on occasion teach him how to play various card gamesJ). My son would look forward to every time we got a chance to see him and even wanted Jim to autograph his baseball and several golf balls he played with (he stills has them). He actually came up one year and Caddied for my son when he played in a qualifying round of the US Jr. Amateurs. Connor is now almost 25, is a college grad and actually works for Boeing (he previously was assistant golf pro). I owe allot of his development to your husband and how he worked with him during his formative years. Jim was a very special man and you should be very proud of him. I am grateful I got to know him and wish I could do more. Please take care and although I know I have never met you, I heard an awful lot of great things about you and your girls, so if you ever need anything, please feel free to reach out. God Bless.
