Obituary for James Kent Bibb
James Kent Bibb, 64, passed away in his home on September 9, 2020 alongside his loving and devoted wife of 36 years, Angela. Kent was born March 3, 1956 in Greenwood, South Carolina to the late James and Mallie Bibb while they were visiting family. He is predeceased in death by his sisters Emily Ellinger and Pamela Ulen-Hill.
He was a proud lifetime resident of Norfolk. He was the epitome of the saying that someone was so giving that they would give you the shirt off of their backs. He was the first person that family and friends would call when they needed any kind of help. For Kent, it did not matter what kind of help was needed or when it was needed, if he was called, he would just go. With him being an avid animal lover, many times he put his own health in jeopardy to go save any animal that was in need. He enjoyed watching most sports, movies and television shows. Many times having to be able to watch those movies and shows as soon as they were available to see. He was a dedicated mechanic and loved most things with two, three and especially four wheels. Most people knew that if you purchased a new vehicle one of your first stops better be so that Kent could see it. And he would do the same.
Those that knew Kent well will remember him as being a jack of all trades but master of none. However it never would stop him from trying anything. He will also be remembered for having a very strong opinion that many times would result in a good debate. Although no one could sway him from his original stance as with Kent, you knew where you stood.
Left to honor and cherish his memory, along with his wife, are several brother and sister in laws, and many nieces and nephews. A service in remembrance of his life will be held at a later date. Please visit www.grahamfuneralhome.com to leave a condolence.
