James (Jimmy) Kohberger, 57, of San Diego, California, passed away on March 29, 2023. Jimmy was born on December 26, 1965, in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and moved to San Diego when he was seven. Jimmy fell in love with San Diego and enjoyed spending much of his youth at the beach. He was a kind and caring human, loved animals, and was an extremely talented musician and songwriter. He was self-taught on the guitar, bass, and drums, and music became his sole focus. Jimmy was active in the punk rock scene, had several bands throughout his lifetime, recorded several CDs, and performed mainly in the San Diego area aka JIMMY GRIND.

Although he preferred the weather in California over Pennsylvania, when he came home to visit, he always made it a point to eat Philly Cheese Steak sub - he said there was nothing like it out west. Jimmy had a dry sense of humor, was very clever, and enjoyed a good laugh. He was a loyal friend to many, especially those in need.

Jimmy was preceded in death by his biological father, James Harry Hall, faithful and loving mother, Peggy Lou Russie, and his beloved son, Christopher Bibb. Jimmy is survived by his sister, Kel Kyle, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. A private memorial service will be held on May 7, 2023.
