Lyle Oneal Wiggins Jr.

1959 - 2021

Lyle Oneal Wiggins Jr., or ‘Oneal' as he was known to most, peacefully departed this life as the sun set on September 9, 2021.

The son of Lyle and Gladys Wiggins of Williamsburg, VA, Oneal, 62, was born in Newport News, VA on June 26, 1959. He graduated from Bruton High School in Williamsburg in 1978, attended Ferrum University, and graduated from Commonwealth College.

Oneal is predeceased by his parents, Lyle and Gladys, and a brother, Johnny Wiggins of Williamsburg, VA. Left to rejoice in his memory are the great loves of his life, wife Jennifer Wiggins of Virginia Beach, VA; son Aaron Wiggins and partner Megan Lindstrom of Denver, CO; daughter Brittany Hunt, husband Michael, and granddaughter Georgia of Columbia, MD; son Daniel Wiggins of Virginia Beach, VA; sister Tammy Schumacher and husband Jim, and brother Greg Wiggins and wife Donna, all of Williamsburg, VA.

Oneal loved his large extended family. One of the highlights of every year was helping to organize a long-standing family reunion in Bryson City, NC, which thankfully he was able to attend this past June. His great passion was travel, personally and professionally, with enthusiasm only dimming in recent months due to health issues.

Oneal met Jennifer 30 years ago when they were both working in the travel industry. They were lucky to have shared not just an enduring love, but many fabulous adventures seeing the world together. For the last four years, he had worked for AAA Club Alliance Inc. as an Executive Account Manager. Over the years, he also shared his professionalism, management and leadership skills with CI Azumano Business Travel, American Express Travel, and Gibson Travel.

Oneal offered a big smile and hearty laugh to everyone he met. He had the biggest heart for his friends and family, and they are devastated to have to carry on without him.

A Celebration of Life memorial will be held on Sunday, September 26, 2021 at New Quarter Park, 1000 Lakeshead Dr., Williamsburg, VA, 23185. Visitation/reception will be at 12pm, with a service following at 2pm. Although there will be shelter, this is a casual outdoor venue to promote social distancing due to Covid concerns.
