Obituary of James Neiles

Peacefully, surrounded by the love of his family, Jim Neiles passed away on April 30, 2026, at the age of 68.

Jim will be forever loved and deeply missed by his devoted wife, Brenda Neiles, with whom he shared 47 wonderful years of marriage. He was a proud and loving father to Chris (Patricia), Melissa (Chad), Andrew (Maryssa), and a cherished grandfather to Jackson, Blake, Brooklyn, and Bryson , who brought him endless joy.

Jim is lovingly remembered by his sisters, Kim Halloran (Dave) and Patty Ayers (John). He was predeceased by his parents, Jim and Joan Neiles of Whitehall, New York.

Jim was a dedicated nurse who took great pride in caring for others, always placing his patients at the heart of everything he did. Beyond his career, he was deeply involved in his community—serving as a baseball coach, an umpire, and a loyal fan of the Toronto Blue Jays. His love of the game was matched only by his commitment to those around him. Jim was also an active member of his church, where his faith and sense of service were evident in the way he lived his life.
