James Michael Sunseri

James “JIM” Michael Sunseri, 80 yrs old, of Huntington Beach California passed away

peacefully on the morning of July 8, 2026.

Jim was born on September 11, 1945, in Holley NY. Son of James and Marguerite Sunseri

(1969, 2006), he is survived by his sisters, Judy Sunseri Kraeger (husband Charlie),

and Mary Sunseri King (Roger 2017). He was loved dearly by his nieces Jennifer, Allison,

Krista, Amanda, and nephew Andrew. He was also blessed by 6 grandnephews and 3

grandnieces. Waiting for him is his beloved Karen Sunseri who passed in June 2011.

Jim was a man filled with compassion and lived in services to others. As a Graduate of the

Syracuse University School of Law in 1975, he dedicated his professional career to helping

all those in need. He never turned away someone who asked for his help, even if it meant a

handshake or a good deed from them was all they could afford. His 50 years of practicing

law in California was unique in its nature and will be missed from the community he loved.

His love for the ocean and sunshine called him to the west coast in the late 1970’s, settling

in Huntington Beach. It was there he met Karen, who worked alongside him until she

passed. They were a dynamic team. Together, they were active members of the Huntington

Beach Masonic lodge. During his years of commitment and service, he rose to the highest

rank of the 33rd degree within York Rite Masonry. Jim was a proud member and felt his

involvement with the Masons was part of his calling to serve others.

Services will be held Thursday, July 16, 2026, at 11 AM, at The Good Shepherd Cemetery

8301 Talbert Ave, Huntington Beach, CA

His deep love for family and community is how our family wishes him to be remembered and honored.
