Obituary for James Douglas Gibble
James Douglas Gibble, 41, passed away August 8, 2020.
He was predeceased by his loving grandparents Joseph and Helen Jabornik, and Richard and Charlotte Gibble.
Born in Allentown,PA, he was the son of Douglas R. Gibble and Joanne Jabornik Gibble of Sinking Spring, PA.
James was a warm and kind person, who laughed easily. No matter the situation, he was full of
witty banter, and always had a funny joke or story to tell. He was fun-loving, incredibly
compassionate toward animals, and felt a strong kinship with older people.
James is survived by his parents, and two sisters: Sarah Gibble-Laska of Brooklyn, NY, and Corinne Gibble of
Santa Cruz, CA, his uncle and aunt, Frank and Susan Jabornik of Kempton, PA, and cousin, Heather (Jabornik) Elkins of Los Angeles, CA.
