James M Biby

James Michael Biby passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, October 9, 2019 at the age of 78. Jim was born December 3, 1940 to Robert and Geraldine Biby. Life for Jim began in South Gate, California; it was also there in South Los Angeles that a career as a licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer began and spanned over 50 years. Jim took residence throughout the state.

The places he called home ranged from the shores of Ventura, up to the mountains of Big Bear, through the fields of the Central Valley and settled in the Inland Empire. Jim was an avid golfer, fisherman, boater & sports fan, the love of which he passed on to his family. In his mid-40's Jim became an owner of the minor league affiliate to the Toronto Blue Jays, the Ventura Gulls.

In his later years Jim took great comfort and enjoyment spending time with his wife Sally of 23 years. Never too far from his side was his dog Brewster who was always more than willing to curl up next to him to watch a western or a ball game on a lazy afternoon. James Michael Biby was revered and admired by younger generations. He was a father figure to family and friends alike. As patriarch of the family Jim was a pillar of strength in times of loss and need. The comfort and guidance he provided will surely be missed.

He is preceded in death by his oldest son James Robert, both parents and brother Robert. The weight of his memory will be carried with pride and admiration by those survived by him, wife Sally, Sister Brendi, and children Tim Biby, Kimberly Sagardia, Amanda Sparacello and Cory Brollier. Grandfather to thirteen and great-grandfather to two. We love you Pops....

A graveside service for James will take place on Saturday, October 19, 2019 at 11:30am located at Pierce Brothers Santa Paula Cemetery, 380 Cemetery Rd, Santa Paula, CA.
