James Tiller Obituary
Jun 30, 1938 - Jul 1, 2024
Tiller, James Nathaniel, 86, of North Chesterfield, VA, died July 1, 2024. He was preceded in death by his son, Joseph A. Tiller; his parents, Forrest and Edith Tiller; siblings, Beulah, Sterling, Calvin, Gloria, Donald, Elsie, Corbin, Robert, Russell, and Joe. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Anna; daughter, Trude (Dean); daughter, Marlene (Chuck); four grandchildren, Jordan, Will, Lily, and Abby; one sister, Jeanne Matthews (Stewart); two sisters-in-law, Joyce Rasnik, and Betty Tiller; many nieces and nephews. He attended the old John Marshall High School and was a proud member of Company A of the Cadet Corp. He served in the U.S. Army in Germany where he met his wife. Later on, he grew his passion for gardening and woodworking, which led him to building altar furniture for several churches around Virginia. James was a loving, generous husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend.

Jim was a gentle and kind person to anyone whom he met. He was always willing to help, and helped me many times with furniture questions and estimating values. I am so sorry I missed this notification and send my deepest condolences and prayers to my friend Anna and her family.

It was always joy to experience Jim´s pride in his garden, his woodwork, but especially his grandchildren! We cherish the cross he made for us. Ted and Brigitte Pidduck

Jim was a kind and caring person. He made beautiful furniture for the church, including a gorgeous oak ambo for the lectors. His shop was always available for special projects and he taught me several skills which I have used in my projects. Anna is also a gracious lady. She always helped me with choir communion service. In Florida, I miss them both.
