James “Jimmy” Jimmicum, Neah Bay, WA—The Neah Bay community mourns the tragic passing of James “Jimmy” Jimmicum, who went missing earlier this year after a fierce storm capsized his fishing boat off the coast. Jimmy, just 30 years old, was engaged in a call with the Coast Guard in his final moments, an act that led to the rescue of his fellow crew member. However, despite an exhaustive 24-hour search effort and further weeks of community-supported searching across miles of open sea and land, Jimmy’s body was never recovered.
The community remembers Jimmy as a devoted father to his two young daughters, Persayis, age 4, and Suzella, age 9. His unexpected departure leaves his family bearing not only the emotional but also the financial weight of this loss. His younger brother, Starling, who co-owned the family fishing business, now manages the debts and costs associated with their fishing boat and truck. Additionally, Jimmy’s mother, Vanessa, and his grandfather, Joebro, along with the entire Macaw Reservation, grieve the absence of their cherished family member.
Andrea Horsefield, a close family friend, has organized a fundraiser to support Jimmy’s family in this difficult time. The funds will be allocated toward assisting his family with the financial burdens left behind and facilitating a memorial service to honor Jimmy’s memory. As of today, the community has begun to rally around Jimmy’s loved ones, with early donations from anonymous supporters contributing to this cause.
Our heartfelt condolences and prayers are with Jimmy’s family, friends, and the community of Neah Bay. May they find strength and comfort through each other during this time of immense loss.
