James Elwood Sheehan

He was born on January 2, 1946, in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.

Jim proudly served his country as a military police officer in the United States Air Force from 1966 to 1970. After his military service, he built a career with Southwest Microwave, where he worked for 28 years before retiring. Arizona was his home for the past 39 years.

Jim was married to his loving wife, Muoi Lam-Sheehan, for 26 years. He is survived by his wife; his children, Patti (John) and Michael; his grandchildren, Kassandra (Chris), Kaitlyn, Kali, KJ, Kylie, Kenzie, Kyle, Chance, and Michael; and his great-grandchildren, Brealynn and Hayden. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Stephanie.

Jim valued hard work, service to his country, and, above all, his family. He lived his life with integrity and was known for being dependable, respectful, and honest. He treasured time with his family and, recently, developed an appreciation for Celtic music.

A celebration of Jim's life will be held in the coming days for family and close friends.
