James Wilkins Jr. Obituary

Born in Mississippi,

James J. Wilkins "J.J." was loved by a loyal, dedicated village of people. His heart cherished deeply, gave freely, and supported those he loved with a silent, yet unmistakable hand of strength. In every room where he sat, he filled the space with a quiet and wise presence. A presence so calm. that it could draw in anyone with an invitation to hear familiar stories and share a gentle laugh. It will always stand true that J.J. was a man of few words, and yet his eyes told the purest truth to the love and compassion held in his soul.

May we always remember the intelligence shown through this success, the love and charisma in his laughter, the gentleness of his walk, and the peace found in his company.

J.J. is predeceased by his mother: Geneva Jackson, and his father: James J. Wilkins. J.J. is survived by 5 children, 9 grandchildren and their families, as well as many others who adored him in this life.

His peaceful silence surrounds each of our hearts as we remember his legacy and celebrate his life here on Earth.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
