James Richard Carey

1945 - 2023

James (Jim) Richard Carey, son of the late Edward Carey and Mittie Warner Carey, passed peacefully in his home in Leesburg, following a long illness.

In his latter years, Jim joined First Mount Olive Baptist Church, Leesburg, and would fondly remind us all that Reverend Stinger was his pastor.

Jim worked for many years as a custodian in Falls Church. He loved cars, especially his Chevy Chevelle, pitching horseshoes, and cheering on his football team, the Washington Commanders.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers Charles (Lucy), Joseph, and Donny. He leaves to cherish his memory his wife Shirely King Carey, one brother Lawrence Carey, his neighbor, who he referred to as brother, Mauricio, two nieces, Angela Martin and Anastasia Carey, and a host of relatives and friends.
