James Raymond Ramseth Obituary

With solemn reverence, we commemorate James Raymond Ramseth in Seattle, Washington, born in Faribault, Minnesota, whose life came to an end on January 18, 2026 at the age of 85, leaving behind cherished memories. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

Though James Raymond may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those James Raymond touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

He was predeceased by: his wife Patricia "Tish" Ramseth; and his son Geoffrey Ramseth. He is survived by: his children, Peter Ramseth (Lisa), Theresa Strutynski (Adam) and Renee Samuelsen; and his siblings, Bob Ramseth (Connie) and Barbara Avoilio (Vic). He is also survived by 10 grandchildren; and 6-1/2 great-grandchildren.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Alzheimer's Association (alz.org) in James' name.
