Obituary for James L Stubbs, Jr.

On Sunday, September 8th 2024, God gently whispered into the ears of our beloved James Lee Stubbs Jr. to come home. He answered his call, took his hand, and transitioned to his eternal home. He was loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend at that time he gained his wings at the age of 96 at his home in Blackstone VA. James (aka) Jimmie. He was born June 8th, 1928 to the late James L. Stubbs Sr. and Rose Mosley in Warren Ohio.

James embarked on his military career at the early age of 18 years old and continued until he retired 20 years later from the U.S. Armed Services. After his first retirement he went on to work at the 88th division at Fort Barfoot formerly known as Ft. Pickett as an Artillery repairman for over twenty-something years. He also was a driving instructor at St. Paul College in Lawrenceville, VA.

James was very tech savvy, had a great sharp memory, a diehard Redskins fanatic, loved to laugh and tell jokes. He was warm hearted and loved his family
