James A Jennings

Jim Jennings, Watsonville Police Officer of 25 years, passed away peacefully at his home in Fallon, Nevada, on April 10, 2022 at the age of 81.

Jim is survived by his wife of 45 years Sharon Jennings, daughters Linda Jennings, Laura Jennings-Evans (Ben), Jennifer Bachman (Rod), Kimberly Thunderbull, step-children Sabrina Antonio and Lani Antonio. He also leaves behind several grandchildren, step-grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He loved and was very proud of his family.

Jim was a force to be reckoned with. He was large in stature with a "there was only one way and it was his way" attitude. He was a man among men and someone you always wanted on your side. He gained the trust and respect of many in the law enforcement community, to include his brothers-in-blue, judges, attorneys, district attorneys, narcotic counterparts, state and federal agencies and yes, even the "bad guys." He loved being a police officer.

Once in a while, when you look up at the clear night sky and see those blinking, flashing lights, rest assured they are not always airplanes, satellites or stars. More likely it is Officer Jim Jennings patrolling the heavens in hot pursuit doing what he did best. Look out heaven!

Time has passed but treasured memories remain. We think about you every day. We all miss you terribly. Love you Jim Jennings.

Wait for me.

Your wife, Sharon Jennings
