James “Jim” Hubman was born June 6, 1931 and passed on peacefully on Feb. 5, 2013.
 
Jim dedicated his life to service, honor and enriching the lives of all that knew him.

He served in the United States Marine Corp doing two tours in Korea. From there, he spent 21 years with the Los Angeles County Fire Department, saving people’s lives and “washing a few cats out of trees.”

After moving to Lake County, he continued his public service by spending 15 years in law enforcement.
 
Jim was known for his kind smile, sparkling blue eyes, impeccable handlebar moustache, hilarious “one liners” and his unwavering love for all he knew. His spirit was one that loved unconditionally and saw the light in every dark place.
 
Jim was preceded in death by his son, Randy Hubman, and daughter, Janine Carr.

He is survived by his wife, Sharon Hubman; daughter, Christine and son-in-law, Rodney Barnes; son, John, and daughter-in-law, Linda Bigley; son, Rick Hubman; furry four-legged daughter, Jasmine; grandchildren, Shannon, Brad, Rick, Jessica, Jerni, Jesse and James; and six great-grandchildren.
 
Jim was a gentleman in the truest sense of the word; he was honest, loyal, compassionate and strong. He loved, respected and adored everyone in his life. He thrived on making those around him happy.  
 
At his request, no services will be held but donations are invited to be made to the Lakeport Fire Department and Four Legged Friends c/o Tina Howard/Wasson Memorial Veterinary.
 
Although his time on this earth is over, his smile will forever be seen and his spirit will live on with each person whose life he touched.
