James Wood

March 6, 1961 - January 24, 2020

James Wood, age 58, of Woodbridge, passed away peacefully at UCSF Helen Diller Medical Center on Friday morning, January 24, 2020 surrounded by family after a 9-month fight with leukemia. He is now at home in heaven with Jesus. Born March 6, 1961 at Lodi Memorial Hospital to James and Adeline (Heinrich) Wood. He grew up in Acampo with his sister Annette and many cousins. He went to Galt High School where “Big Jim” broke every major record as a standout basketball star for the Warriors. He went on to set more records at Delta College in Stockton and was recruited and played for the Seton Hall Pirates in the Big East.  

Jim came back to Galt where he got married and had two children. He began his career and quickly achieved a reputation as a passionate and hard worker who earned everything he gained. He often attributed his hard work and dedication to his years playing basketball, but it was evident that he had a fire inside of him that burned strong for whatever he did. Soon he became co-owner of Rolling Stages, Inc., where he spent the remainder of his career building a successful business.  

Some of his passions in life included waterskiing, barefoot skiing (in his size 15’s), basketball, baseball, golf, riding dirt bikes, playing with his kids, and a love for Lake Shasta. He spent as much time as possible with those that he loved. He especially enjoyed eating good food and watching sports with family and taking care of those around him. He had the ability to relate to others and make them feel special. Among many other passions none surpassed his love and dedication to his family. If he could choose one thing, he would want to be remembered as a great father. Without a doubt, he was beyond a great father.  

He is survived by his children, Paul Wood (Ashley) and Holli Wood; his sister Annette Warmerdam (Pete); and numerous loving cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.  

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made online to the American Cancer Society at cancer.org or by helping someone around you in need, because that is what Jim did.

Larry was born at the San Joaquin County General Hospital in French Camp to Anna and Lawrence Barrett Sr. in January 18, 1950. He lived his entire life in Stockton, attending local schools and graduating from Franklin High School in 1969. He served in the US Army from August 1970 to February 1972 during the Vietnam War as a Sharpshooter and as a Military Police. He returned home to work at the Railroad before starting a lifelong career in Law Enforcement. Larry joined the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office as a Deputy Sheriff in April 1974 and continued his career there until November 1995 when he transferred to the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office as a District Attorney Investigator. He retired in March 2006 as a Lieutenant with the District Attorney’s Office. He was a 2002 graduate of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. He had been working part-time at the San Joaquin County Probation Department since Fall 2012 as a Background Investigator doing Backgrounds and Internal Affairs.

Larry is survived by his loving wife, Janet, daughter Dominique Serros of Stockton, sons Arthur Serros of Stockton, and Thomas (Kris) Serros of Belgium, devoted granddaughter Alina Zarate, sisters, Patricia King of Oxnard, Peggy (Jerry) McMillian of Oak Harbor, WA, Janet Martinez of Ventura, mother-in-law Josephine (John) McGinnis of Manteca, sister-in-law Josephine (Jose) Martinez of Stockton, numerous nephews and nieces, and also survived by Bella, his four-legged companion. He is preceded in death by his parents Anna and Lawrence Barrett Sr., his sister Kathleen ‘Kathy’ Barrett Haase, brother-in-law Frank Martinez, close friend Kenny ‘Daddy Wags’ Wagner, and Reina, his four-legged companion.

Larry loved baseball, golf, hosting gatherings for family and friends at his home, and cars. His love of cars went from Classics to Hot Rods and everything in between, and he owned and built many over the years. He was a member of the Franklin Syndicate Car Club and participated in many Car Shows and Car Runs both in and out of California. Larry will be greatly missed by everyone who loved him. Per his request, there will be no service. He preferred that people think of the good times, have a drink for him and enjoy life. In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations can be made to Hospice of San Joaquin.
