James Edward Sievers Jr. passed away on Wednesday, June 9, 2021 at the age of 73. He was the father of Jessica Sievers Cline, Amanda Sievers Fisher (Christopher), and James Edward Sievers IV. Grandfather of Alexis Victoria Baldassaro, Alexandria Marie Cline, and Conner Alexander Fisher. Former husband and longtime friend of Antoinette Truxillo (Larry). Son of the late James Edward Sievers Sr. and Louise Margaret Nuss. Brother of Herbert Sievers (Joyce), Wayne Sievers, and the late Debbie Sievers Everhardt (Alvin). Son-in-law of Julia Lopez. He is also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.
His daughter remembers being on the way to an appointment, and seeing a person in need outside the door where he was going. He struck up a conversation, and ended up giving the man the shoes off of his feet. He was in the very best sense of the phrase a people person.
He would visit special needs homes, so they could interact with different animals which he kept in a small farm in his yard. He started with New Orleans Police Department in 1985, and retired in 2009. During that time he worked the street and served as a detective in the child abuse division. He will be remembered for his amazing personality, kind heart, and warm soul. He was always there for his kids.
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, June 26, 2021 at 1:00 PM. Visitation will be from 11:00 AM until the service, and continue after the service until 3:00 PM. Express condolences at www.westsideleitzeagan.com.
