James Hubert Jiles

James Hubert Jiles, 80 years old, born October 28th, 1942, went home to his heavenly reward on October 10th, 2023. “Big Jim” was a proud Army Major who served two tours of duty in Vietnam, earning the Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with a Silver Star, 2 Bronze Service Stars, as well as many other accommodation medals. In every role throughout his life, he always put others before himself.

“Big Jim” is survived by his bride Agnes, whom he voraciously loved for more than 52 years. She was, and always will be, the love of his life. In his marriage, he provided years of strength, hope, love, comfort, and devotion. She was, and always will be, his heart and soul.

He is survived by his four children, Susan Lemke (Wendy) of Minnesota, Jimmy Jiles (Sheila) of North Carolina, Mitzi Jiles of Atlanta, and Tommy Jiles (Ginger) of Atlanta. There was never a moment when they did not know that they were loved.

He is also survived by 3 grandchildren, Seth, Kellyn, and Eliot, who treasured moments with their Grandpa and loved him immensely.

He is survived by his brother, Jerry Jiles (Sue) of Florida, as well as brother and sister-in-laws, nieces and nephews throughout the country.

Trixie and Roxy, his canine companions, brought so much joy to his life.

What we will miss most is the sound of his voice, the way his smile brought joy, his love of sports, his love of a good meal, Hallmark movies, and how he loved love.

Services will be held at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Tucker, Georgia on Saturday, October 14th at 11:00 AM.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Sandy Springs VFW, Post 10822 Dunwoody Sandy Springs, Georgia, or Friends of St. Martin de Porres Holy Cross Catholic Church in Tucker, Georgia.
