Biography

James Okubo lived a life of quiet valor, returning from the battlefields of World War II and carrying with him the compassion of a medic who had tended to fellow soldiers in their darkest hours. His dedication to duty, even after the guns fell silent, left an indelible impression on the communities he served and the comrades who remembered him.

He rests now in Woodlawn Cemetery, a place of peace that honors the bravery of those like him who gave so much for the freedoms future generations would inherit.
