James Douglas (Jim) McCusker, 57, died March 26, 2014. Jim was born August 12, 1956 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Jim lives on in the memory of the love of his life, Mary Powers McCusker, and their two wonderful children, James D. (Jimmy) McCusker , Jr. and Elisabeth (Lisa) Powers McCusker. Jim was the 7th child of Jack & Wilma McCusker, and his wife Mary is the 7th child of James & Ann Powers, all formerly of Tybee Island. Sisters, brothers, and spouses include Barbara & William Poole of Atlanta, Theresa & Peter Bannon of Tybee, Patricia & John Allgood of Atlanta, John & Kathy McCusker of Hendersonville, N.C., Steve & Chris McCusker, of Savannah, Greg McCusker, of Tybee, Marcia Waldron of Raleigh, N.C., and Mary & Joe Pelli of Atlanta. He leaves two Aunts, Corinne Hickman Cox and Lee Hickman of Missouri, and their families including many cousins. Loved by the Powers clan as well, he will be missed by James Powers, Matt Powers, Julie & Tom Bradley, George & Ellen Powers, Robby & Cynthia Powers, Andy & Blanche Powers, Ann Marie & John Thomas, and Joseph & Kris Powers. Jim leaves many nephews and nieces and many "adopted" sons and daughters - his childrens' friends who spent much time as guests at his home. He was preceded by his Aunt Eloise Hickman Whitsett, Uncle Walter Hickman, and Nephew Sean Bannon.
Jim's doors were always open, his heart was always full, his company was always welcome, his help was always given, his wit was always ready, his charm was warm, and the lives of everyone that knew him were made richer. He never met a stranger, was a best friend to many, was never at a loss for words, his cup was always full, and he had abundant energy and zest for life. He was a great son, brother, husband, father, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend.
He was a devoted husband and had a romance of nearly forty years with his wife. He was a dedicated and proud father and spent many great times with his wife and family at the beach, in the rivers, on the islands, boating, camping, fishing, exploring, and traveling, cooking, and baking, and inventing.
Jim was a communicant of St. Michaels Church, Tybee Island, a lector and sang in the choir. He attended parochial schools in Atlanta, St. Michaels at Tybee Island., and in Knoxville, Tn. He graduated from the University of Tennessee, then worked for Proctor & Gamble in Texas, returning to Tybee years later. He worked in sales and construction and real estate. A talented craftsman and artisan, he helped renovate multiple properties for himself and others in Savannah, and Fort Screven, Tybee, and was especially proud of the beautiful restoration of his home in Fort Screven he called the Villa of St. Francis. He loved working at the UGA Extension Burton 4-H Center at Tybee Island.
Honorary Pallbearers were his brothers, and close friends Brian & Kevin Smith, and Frank Fischer.
A Vigil was held Friday from 5:00 to 7:00, Rosary at 6:00, at Fox & Weeks, Whitemarsh Island Chapel and a Catholic Mass on Saturday at 11:00 A.M., St. Peters Church, Wilmington Island.
