James Francis Ahles

Obituary Date: Tuesday, February 6, 2024

James Francis Ahles, 52, died peacefully on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, surrounded by family after a long battle with Leukemia. His Celebration of Life service will be held at the Hamilton Mill Memorial Chapel and Gardens on Friday, February 9, 2024 at 3 pm. Visitation will be one hour prior at 2 pm.

James Ahles was born on June 16, 1971, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to James and Maria Ahles. He is preceded in death by his parents and his siblings. James joined the military immediately after high school and proudly served in the intelligence division of the Army for over 23 years. He valued his service highly and attained the rank of Sergeant First Class prior to retirement.

He is survived by his loving wife, Darcie, his children, Isabelle and William Ahles, and his stepchildren, Rebecca and Connor McNamara. James delighted in serving others and volunteering with various ministries. His greatest blessings in life were his family as he was a devoted husband and father. He received the most joy watching his children playing the sports that they loved, visiting wineries with his wife, long walks with the dog Lucy, and watching movies. One of the fondest memories we will always cherish is family game nights.

James was a devout Christian and always turned to God with thankfulness for what he had. He had a smile that would light up any room. Although there is a hole in our hearts, we delight in knowing we have an everlasting life, and we will see him again. Psalms 116:15 “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants.”

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in James’ memory to the Atlanta Blood Services or the Leukemia Society.
