James Goeske, a beloved husband, dedicated public servant, and
adventurous spirit, passed away on Feb. 9, 2024, at the age of 82.

Born on July 3, 1941 in Riverside, California to Janet and John Goeske,
James was a man of boundless energy and enthusiasm from a young age. He
attended Poly High School in Riverside, where he not only excelled
academically but also displayed his athletic prowess on the football
field. James continued his education at Riverside University, where his
passion for sports remained undiminished.

James's commitment to serving his community led him to a career in law
enforcement, where he served with honor and distinction as a policeman
in Palm Springs, California. Even while dedicating himself to public
service, James was an entrepreneur at heart. He owned a gas station and
ventured into real estate, buying and selling numerous properties in
Palm Springs.

In 1976, James found his lifelong partner in Casey, and together they
embarked on a journey filled with love and adventure. Casey's
entrepreneurial spirit matched James's own, as she opened Casey Code 7
and Raw, businesses that brought joy and community to those they served.
For two decades, James served as a motorcycle officer, patrolling the
streets with dedication and integrity. His commitment to keeping his
community safe was unwavering, and he earned the respect and admiration
of all who knew him.

In 2002, James and Casey decided to embark on a new chapter of their
lives, selling their business in Lake Havasu City. They embraced their
newfound freedom with gusto, indulging in their shared love of travel.
James's adventurous spirit took them across Canada and the United States
on his beloved motorcycle, creating memories along the way.

Their journey eventually led them to settle in a condo on the beach in
Daytona, Florida, where they continued to savor life's adventures
together. James lived life to the fullest, cherishing every moment and
embracing the beauty of the world around him. Though he may have "run
out of time," his spirit will live on in the hearts of all who had the
privilege of knowing him.
