With great sadness, the family of Jim Cunningham announces the passing of their dear husband, father, grandfather, and brother on May 29, 2025. He is survived by: his soul mate of 55 years, Jorlaine Cunningham of Laguna Beach, CA; his sons James Peacock of Dallas, TX and Jason Cunningham of Laguna Beach, CA; his daughter and son-in-law Jennifer and Mark Reitman of Los Angeles, CA; and his sister Debby Eddy of Fountain Valley, CA. His family was completed with six grandchildren Layne and Jacqueline Peacock, Conner and Melissa Cunningham, and Lee and Georgia Reitman.

Jim was born in Santa Ana, CA to Carolyn and Joseph Cunningham as a fifth generation California native. After graduating Warren High School and Cal State Fullerton with a bachelor’s degree in Economics, he worked as an independent insurance agent until he launched his air cargo forwarding business, Security Express. Jim lived with a burning passion in all aspects of his life, including as a private pilot, international traveler, and avid enthusiast of reading, history, nature, golf, boating and deep-sea fishing.

Services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 8th, at the Pacific View Memorial Park in Corona del Mar, CA followed by a celebration of life at the Cunningham residence. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to the American Diabetes Association by going to the following link:
