James Ely Obituary
A former resident of Aiken County, SC, and former student at Aiken High School, he was a Senior at White Knoll High School and was an employee of KFC.
James was an all-around "good kid". He enjoyed gaming, playing football, staying physically fit, riding his motorcycle and was an avid DAWG fan. He was well loved and well-liked by his friends, especially the young ladies!
In addition to his parents, James is loved, missed and his memory will live on in the hearts of his siblings, Gabriel, Evan, Ashley and Aleah Ely, grandparents, Michele Lecik, Terry Prest and Shirley Ely, great-grandparents, Paul and Linda Wisner, as well as other relatives and countless friends.
Also, a special thanks to all those that have donated and contributed to make it possible for James to receive the burial he deserves.
Friends will be greeted by the family on Monday, August 26, 2024, beginning at 11 o'clock at Langley Church of God, Langley, SC. A Celebration of Life Service will follow at noon at the church. Pastor Edward Hardee will officiate. Interment will follow in Aiken Memorial Gardens, Aiken, SC.
