Born in Laos to the late Ben and Thongchan (Phexayakhoth) Keomorokot, Jim was an intelligent, hardworking, and charismatic man, respected by his peers for both his character and accomplishments. His life was defined by a passion for learning and a commitment to excellence. He pursued his education in math, science, and technology, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from San Diego State University and later a Master of Business Administration in Managerial Technologies from Johnson & Wales University. He would go on to have a long career as a senior engineer at Raytheon Corp.

Jim was the proud father of four children: Sarah Keomorokot, Austin Keomorokot, Bouasavanh Amy Keomorokot, and Thidavanh Anna Keomorokot. He is survived by his siblings Sam, Somchan, Chanthalay, Ian, Jay, Keo, Khamsay, and Nangnoi Keomorokot, and was preceded in death by his dear brother Santi Keomorokot, whose memory he cherished throughout his life.
