It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of James Gibbs, son, brother, friend, and father to a son and daughter.
The family appreciates the kindness, support, and condolences they have received during this difficult time.
He will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.

Posted on: Saturday, August 8, 2026James has been a father figure in my life for almost 10 years. Hearing the news about his passing, completely shattered me. I was just with him a few weeks ago, driving around, helping him run some errands. While he tried to make me laugh with his jokes. He was such a huge part of me and my kids lives. And I will forever cherish the memories we made, the laughs, the tears, and random road trips just to see the scenery, while singing at the top of our lungs.
Thank you James for everything, We will miss you so much.
Sending all my love & condolences to his family.

I would like to express my sincere condolences to his family during this incredibly difficult time. I know he will be deeply missed by so many whose lives he touched.
I hope he is looking down on all of us now, watching over and protecting those he loved.
Until we meet again, my friend, you will never be forgotten.
Rest peacefully, James. ❤️

Posted on: Tuesday, August 11, 2026James was a great friend to me in high school. He was there for me through some of my darkest hours, never judging me, just supporting me! I wish we had the chance to reconnect in our adulthood. His kind heart and no B.S attitude was what I loved the most about him.
My sincere condolences to the Gibbs family and to his friends that were close and loved him most.

Posted on: Saturday, August 15, 2026Hello My Good Friend.
I am in total shock! I received the heartbreaking news from our mutual big friend Cory. Salt of the Earth Gentleman. You and I spoke just over a week ago, longest stretch we hadn’t spoke for in a long time. I know you loved talking “shop” with Me, and Life in general, sharing advice, and Cars of course, as did I! And the best one of all, making each other laugh, you “Dirty Mick” you, LOL. We accomplished some real high quality work together, something to always be proud of. As My beautiful Irish Dad always taught Me “Do a job to perfection, or don’t do it at all” And I have carried that sound advice through My entire career. I was so looking forward to us both getting healthy and hitting the Gym! And getting back to work! I met many fine people through My employment with you. Also something to be proud of. I can only cherish all the good memories, and laughs of course, and hope we see each other on the other side My Good Friend. My Condolences and Love to all of your Family and Fiends.
Love Always My Buddy James,
Carl. Irish Forever !!
