James Henry Wilborn, 63, of North Wilkesboro died Friday, Jan. 11, 2019, at Hospice of the Piedmont in High Point.
Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 17, 2019, at New Damascus Baptist Church, with the Rev. Keith Knox, the Rev. Brent Bailey and the Rev. John A. Speaks officiating.
Burial will be in High View Cemetery.
Mr. Wilborn was born Jan. 7, 1956, in Wilkes County to Charles William and Cora Alice Barber Wilborn.
James began his career at Wilkes ADAP Inc. on June 9, 1977. And he truly lived a full life! He called ADAP “school,” but it was truly work. James was a member of the yard/janitorial crew. Over the years, he mastered using the riding mower– even loading it on the trailer—the push mower, weed eater, and the leaf blower. He also worked hard when the crew went out to rake leaves and stack logs. James also loved working with the janitorial crew. He would vacuum tirelessly until the job was done. James loved to work, but he also loved earning money and going to the bank to cash his check. This was his pattern for 42 years! He also loved gospel music and especially the song, “Oh Happy Day.”
Mr. Wilborn was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, Rufus Wilborn; and two sisters, Wilma Calloway and Janice Eller.
He is survived by three sisters, Billie Cuffee and husband, Lonnie, of Wilkesboro, Cora Ellen Simpson and husband, Keith, of North Wilkesboro and Melissa Richardson and husband, Danny, of North Wilkesboro; and four brothers, Spencer Wilborn and wife, Veronica, Lawrence Wilborn, Alvin Wilborn and wife, Norma, and Clyde Wilborn, all of North Wilkesboro. He also held a special place in his heart for his nieces and nephews.
