James Joseph Feeks, Jr. (affectionately known as Big Jim, Jimbo, or Coach), age 75, of Medina, Ohio passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 10, 2025. Jim was born on February 20, 1950, in Jackson Heights,(Queens), NY. to the late James Joseph J. Feeks, Sr. and Alice Whipple (Davenport) Feeks.
Throughout his professional career Jim owned and operated Feeks & Associates, a sales agency in the fastener, metalworking, and plastics industries. Jim was proud to have grown his business alongside his sons and their associates. During his free time, Jim loved spending time with his family, friends, and neighbors. He had an infectious personality, a unique way with people, and a nickname for everybody. His quick-witted humor brought a smile to everyone in his presence.
Jim is survived by his children, Erin Feeks, James (Kate) Feeks, III and Adam (Rose) Feeks; his grandchildren, Mackenzie, James, IV, William, Delaney, as well his soon to be 5th grandchild, baby girl Feeks due in September; along with his siblings, Mary Alice (Bob) Gast, John Feeks, Nancy (Pat Feighrey) Sanchez, Timothy (Darlene) Feeks, and Charlie Feeks. He is preceded in death by his beloved wife of 43 years, Deborah J. (Wampler) Feeks, and his parents, James and Alice. Jim was a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend; he will be dearly missed by all.
The family would like thank Dr. Goyal and his staff, the many doctors, nurses, and therapists at the Cleveland Clinic, Sanctuary Medina /Evergreen, Medina Meadows, The Echelon, and the many friends and family for their love, care and compassion towards Jim over the years.
The family will receive friends on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, from 4 to 8 p.m. at Waite Funeral Home, 765 N. Court Street, Medina, OH 44256. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at 11 a.m. at St. Ambrose Catholic Church, 929 Pearl Road, Brunswick, OH 44212.
