Palm Springs, CA—James Gregory Kuinius, a well-known figure in the Palm Springs community, has passed away. His untimely death has left his wife, Clarice Aguiar-Kuinius, and those who knew him in deep sorrow. James was found deceased on July 24th, 2024, at the swap meet grounds in Palm Springs, where temperatures had soared to a dangerous 126°F. The extreme heat proved to be too much, leading to his tragic death due to heat stroke and dehydration.
James, affectionately known as "Jimmy," was a passionate golfer and a familiar face on the local courses. His love for the sport extended beyond playing; he would often collect and sell golf balls to fellow golfers, a small business that allowed him to stay connected to the game he loved. He also dedicated time to teaching young men the intricacies of golf, passing on his knowledge and love for the sport to the next generation.
Described by his wife as a man with a dry sense of humor, James was known for his caring and helpful nature. He was independent and tenacious, with a zest for life that was contagious. His diverse group of friends and his nonjudgmental character made him a beloved member of the community. James was more than just a golfer; he was a hustler, always on the lookout for opportunities, whether it was selling valuable trinkets at the local swap meet or finding hidden treasures in antiques and collectibles.
In the wake of his passing, Clarice has organized a fundraiser to help cover the costs of James’s funeral and cremation. With no family to turn to, Clarice is reaching out to friends, family, and the community for support. The fundraiser, created on August 6th, 2024, has raised $65 of its $2,316 goal, with donations from Jennifer Bramblett and Clarice herself. The funds will go towards covering morgue fees, travel expenses, and the costs associated with James’s final arrangements.
James Kuinius will be deeply missed by those who knew him. His legacy as a golfer, a mentor, and a friend will live on in the memories of the many lives he touched.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Clarice and all who knew and loved James during this difficult time.
