In Loving Memory of James Edward Tiedt

Beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend

James Edward Tiedt of Lake Worth, Florida, passed away peacefully, surrounded by love. Known to all as Jim, he lived a life shaped by the sea breeze, the tug of a fishing line, and the laughter of family gathered close.

Jim shared a beautiful life with his loving wife, Bonnie, whose devotion and companionship were the heart of his days. Together, they built a home filled with warmth, laughter, and lasting memories — a reflection of the deep love they shared.

Born with a deep appreciation for the water, Jim spent countless hours boating and fishing along Florida’s coast — always happiest with the sun on his shoulders and a rod in hand. Whether it was a quiet morning on the dock or a full day out on the boat, he found peace and joy in the rhythm of the waves and the company of good friends.

Jim’s greatest pride, though, was his family. He was the devoted father of three daughters — Jennifer, Cari, and Jaime — who will forever cherish his humor, his guidance, and his unconditional love. He was also a proud grandfather to Aiden, Zachary, and Aaylah, who will remember “Papa” for his stories, his patience, and the sparkle in his eyes when they were near.

Those who knew Jim will remember him as a man with a generous heart, a ready smile, and a deep appreciation for the simple joys of life — a well-cast line, a calm sea, and the love of family.

Jim’s spirit will live on in every sunrise over the water and every cast made in hope and gratitude. His family and friends take comfort in knowing that he’s found calm waters and fair winds on his final voyage.

A celebration of Jim’s life will be held at a later date, where family and friends will gather to share stories and honor his memory in the way he loved best — together, near the water.
