James Wright Chambers II, 54, of Cottageville, WV, passed away February 11, 2023 in Charleston Area Medical Center following an extended illness.

He was born June 5, 1968, a son of the late James Wright Chambers Sr. and Emma Zoe (Hoff) Chambers. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Herbert Clark Chambers and an infant sister.

He lived his life enjoying mechanic and electrical work or anything with his hands. He loved driving trucks and started in the early 1990s working for Weston Transfer. He then started driving tractor trailers for various small companies all over the United States. He enjoyed taking his son, Steven on his long trips. After coming off the road after several years he started working for Stepp & Sons garage doors. His health began to decline which made him stop working. He never stayed down for long; always offering a helping hand to a neighbor in need.

Survivors include his wife of 24 years, Rebecca Shannon (Ireland) Chambers; children, Brandi Chambers of Kenna, Shanda Chambers of Ripley, Courtney Chambers (Jesse Mullins of Craigsville, Steven Chambers of Ripley, Major Chambers of Cottageville, James W.

Several young adults thought of him as a dad including Creston, Maggie, Nick and many more.

Words can't describe everything I want to say but I am so lucky to have been your daughter. I was definitely the daddy's girl. I am also so thankful you married mom and yall were the best together. You always managed to figure everything out even when it seemed impossible.. I will miss you more than anything but I know you'll always watch over us.

Dad never met a stranger. He was always a social person couldn't keep him down, even on his worst day he was up and ready to get into anything. I remember times when he would be told to rest and it bothered him so bad he would sit there and almost make something up just to have a reason to get up and go.
Dad was always there if anyone needed help I don't care if it was 2 am and he was sound asleep he would get up and drive 3 hours if he had to but he was always there.
Dad loved to hang out with us kids. Even though his body was old his mind stayed young.
Dad worked everyday for as long as I could remember he made sure we always had what we needed and most of what we wanted. He dedicated himself to everything he did and never left the job unfinished.
Dad you were a great person and you left a mark on everyone you came in contact with. I wish you didn't have to leave, but all good things come to an end, and someday we will see each other again. I love you forever and I will never forget how great of a dad you were.
