TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE DEATH OF DEACON JAMES LOUIS GIBBS OF MONCKS CORNER AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Deacon James Louis Gibbs of Moncks Corner on January 27, 2019, at the age of sixty-five; and
Whereas, Deacon Gibbs entered this world on September 26, 1953, as the fourth of nine children born to Leroy and Lucille Gibbs of Charleston. Educated in the Charleston public schools, James graduated from Middleton High School. Shortly after graduation, he moved to New York, where he ventured into the banking industry. Later, he returned to Charleston, where he served as a longshoreman for ILA 1422. His persistence in his work positioned him for leadership and he devoted more than twenty-five years to the waterfront; and
Whereas, on March 28, 1987, James wed the love of his life, Angela Gibbs, and the couple became the proud parents of two daughters, Kiwanna and Shanese, and two sons, James Christopher and James Louis II; and
Whereas, as a faithful member of Christ Temple Church, James was unwavering in his work as a deacon and armor-bearer to his dear friend Apostle Levon Smalls. James loved his church family and always demonstrated the love of Christ; and
Whereas, predeceased by his two sons, James Louis Gibbs leaves to cherish his memory his devoted wife, Angela; his two daughters, Kiwanna Suitt (Terrance, Sr.) and Shanese Gibbs; three grandsons, Terrance II, Keyshawn, and Nelson; and a host of loving family members and friends. James has changed his address to heaven, and all who love him rejoice for him, but he will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the death of Deacon James Louis Gibbs of Moncks Corner and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mrs. Angela Gibbs for the family.
