Help Jim Kerrigan's Family in time of need

Donation protected
On September 20, 2019 our wonderful friend Jim Kerrigan passed away at age 52 in San Francisco.  Jim is survived by his loving wife Catherine, his adoring children; Jonathan, James,  Joseph, Jack, Eileen and Catherine along with his mother Elaine and siblings Jack, Paul and Patty.  Jim was preceded in death by his father, San Francisco Police Captain Jack Kerrigan and his brother Larry. 

With five children at home, Catherine could use our financial assistance as she and the children struggle with the loss of a beloved husband and father.

Jim was a San Francisco original.  He grew up in a legacy San Francisco family, proud of his Irish Catholic heritage.  Jim attended St. Brendan's Elementary School and St. Ignatius College Preparatory, graduating with the class of 1985.  Jim continued to be involved with his community and coached football at St. Ignatius in the 1990's. 

Jim was a career law enforcement officer, beginning  his service as a Public Safety Officer with the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety before accepting a position with the California Department of Justice - Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement where he served as a Special Agent and Special Agent Supervisor in the San Francisco Field Office. Jim transferred to the Marin County Sheriff's Office before accepting a position as an Investigator with the San Francisco District Attorney's Office Investigation Division.  Jim excelled at the DA's Office and worked many complex and sensitive investigations.  He was promoted through the supervisory ranks to become the Chief of the Investigation Division.  Throughout his career, Jim mentored many young police officers.  

Jim was active in the California Narcotic Officer's Association, serving as the Chairperson for Region I.  He also served with many other local groups and organizations.  He was known by all as a patriot and a brave and dedicated police officer with the highest level of integrity. 

Jim was always willing to assist his legions of friends and he never failed to put the needs of others before himself.  Most importantly, Jim was known as a great family man.  A loving husband to Catherine, an adoring father to his children and a caring son and brother to his parents and siblings.  

Jim Kerrigan was always there for his friends and his community.  He never failed to do his duty as a police officer and he remained fiercely loyal to family and friends. 

Jim understood that loyalty was a sacred obligation.  It is now our responsibility to repay that loyalty by assisting Jim's wife Catherine and his children through our love and financial support.
