Obituary of James Joseph Arbuckle

On Friday, June 2nd, 2023, at the too young age of 62, Jimmy went to be with the Lord. Diagnosed in 2018 with early onset Alzheimer's Disease, recent seizures brought complications that made life challenging in his final few months. 

Jimmy was born August 16, 1960 to Phyllis and Tom Arbuckle. He grew up running around North St. Paul with his older brother, Mike and younger sister, Joy. Legend says he was a kind soul, a good man, fun to be around, clowned around with the best of them and was a top-notch drinking buddy.  

He married his beautiful wife, Louise in 1991 and a year later their son, Kyle was born. He worked physically hard all his life and retired as a union bricklayer in 2016.  

He is lovingly survived by wife of 32 years, Louise; son, Kyle (Celia); granddaughter, Wild Mae; sister, Joy (Brian); brother, Mike; nephew, Zack; his in-laws; many friends; and of course his feline buddy, Bandit.  

On Friday, June 16, 2023 there will be a visitation (12:00pm - 2:30pm) and service (2:30pm) at Sandberg Funeral Home; 2593 7th Ave E, N St Paul, MN 55109.
