James Edward Gibbs, 69, of Sweet Home died Feb. 19, 2013 at his home.
He was born Sept. 9, 1943 in Salem, Mo., to Woodrow and Flossie Gibbs.
Mr. Gibbs was employed by Santiam Plywood, later known as Willamette Industries, until his retirement. He enjoyed the outdoors and taking daily walks that most would consider a marathon.
He is survived by his sisters, Juanita May and Janice Miner, both of Sweet Home; brothers David, Daniel and Gregory Gibbs, all of Sweet Home; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Joyce; and brothers Donald and Winfred.
Funeral services were held Feb. 26 at Holley Christian Church, with final burial at Crawfordsville Finley Cemetery.
Sweet Home Funeral Chapel is handling the arrangements.
