Heaven got another angel, James Edward Nebling, 48, of Mabelvale passed away September 24, 2011 surrounded by his loved ones after a difficult battle with pancreatic cancer. James was a loving and giving person; a gentle spirit. Even during times when most people would lose faith he always had a smile on his face and a laugh in his heart. James was still a child at heart and his smile was contagious to all that were around him. His sense of humor made him so much fun to be around it was no surprise he had so many close lifelong friends. He was immeditiately remembered by all that met him. James was devoted to his family and loyal to all his friends. He touched many lives during his life and those lives will forever be changed for the time they have shared. Whether it be family, a lifelong friend or a coworker that was dear to his heart, James was always one that would be there when needed and would give everything that he had to help any way he could. James was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed fishing and hunting. He loved doing things that most of us avoided, the lawn. He took pride in everything that he did down to the last blade of grass and smallest little tomato in his garden. He lived life to the fullest even during his hardest days. He adored his daughter and his grandchildren and cherished each and every moment that they shared. While he has joined the Lord in Heaven he will always be in our hearts and in our thoughts. James will be dearly missed by us all but will be forever remembered. James is survived by his parents, Augusta Lynne Phillips and Billy Earl Nebling; daughter, Tiffany and her husband Marcus Cannon of Forth worth TX; grandsons Kayden and Trenton Cannon; brothers, John Nebling, Billy Nebling and Daniel Merritt; Sister, Vickie Doles; Step sister, Theresa Tiner; Nephews Justin, Blake, Morgan, Tyler and Taylor; nieces Savanah and Jessica. A private celebration of life will be held for James. Details will be provided by his immediate family.
