Jack Wiles Obituary

Jack was formerly a field representative with W.K. Brown. He enjoyed westerns, car racing, fishing, traveling, and the Clemson Tigers. He was a devoted family man who looked forward to Friday nights because that was family meal night! He never passed up catfish or salmon and loved a good sweet treat. He will be remembered as a loving father, grandfather, brother, and friend and will be missed by all who were blessed to know him. He was a member of First Baptist Church of Iva.
He is survived by his sons, Jack Leroy Wiles, Jr., Keith William Wiles (Linda), and Patrick Nicholas Wiles; 4 grandchildren, Justin Wiles (Aimee), Seth Wiles (Blair), Finley Wiles Nadler (Sam), and Jessica Speer (Chris); 7 great grandchildren; brother, Joseph E. Wiles; and sisters, Helen Thomas and Patsy Temple. He had a longtime relationship with his lady friend Emily Felker and her family Christal McClain (Brandon), Regan McCleod (Stephen), and grandchildren, "Little E" Emily, Allen, Carson, and Dalton who were very close to their "Papa Jack".
The family will receive friends on Sunday, November 2, 2025, from 1:30-2:45 pm at The McDougald Funeral Home. The funeral service will begin at 3:00 pm in the Chapel with Rev. Jerry Gray officiating. Burial will follow at Iva City Cemetery.
