James A. Moody, 78, of Kennewick, Wa passed away peacefully on Monday, May 20, 2019. Born in Pasadena, CA to Lyle and Georgia Moody he lived most of his life in California and Oregon before moving to Washington to be closer to family. James's father Lyle Moody, had the honor of swearing James, his own son into the Air Force which he was honorably discharged from in 1969. James made a career as a Union Sheet Metal Worker before enjoying a retirement of remodeling homes and spoiling his children and grandchildren with all of his free time. He took pride in classic cars and surprising his loved ones with gifts and useful items he found at Estate Sales, Antique Stores and Thrift shops. These items were always specific to the person and related to a small detail he remembered about the person and what they enjoy. The pride of his car collection was his 1955 Chevy Bel-Air which out shone his Corvettes and Camaro. James was very loving and so proud of his children and grandchildren. He is survived by his daughter Renee Zielinski and her husband Jerry, son Chris and his wife Debbie, son Ray and his wife Tasha and son Jeff and his wife Stephanie. He is also survived by his sisters Lois and Lynn, 10 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and his best friend Richard of 60 years. He will be greatly missed.
