James C. "Hilesy" Hiles, 55, of East Brady died Sunday April 17, 2016 at UPMC Presbyterian.

Born August 21, 1960 in Butler, he was the son of J. Gary and Kaye F. (Fowler) Hiles.

A 1978 Graduate of East Brady High School, Jimmy was a hard worker employed by Rosebud Mining Co., McConway and Tourley in Pittsburgh, and most recently for Asbury Graphite in Kittanning. 

Jimmy was an avid sports fan who grew up an outstanding athlete playing football, basketball, baseball and softball.  He took pride in his children and enjoyed watching their sporting events.  He loved to hunt and fish and looked forward to his trips with friends. 

Jimmy and his family were most proud of his hard work the past 3 years.  A member of St. Paul's Community Church, his family finds peace in knowing that Jimmy made amends with God and was living a very happy, sober life.  The family hopes he has touched the lives of many with his story as he did theirs. 

Jimmy was a wonderful dad, son, brother, uncle and nephew along with being an amazing friend, neighbor and mentor.  He had a great relationship with his children's mothers, Marcy L. Gallagher and Tracy A. Brink, who treasured his love and friendship.  He will be deeply missed. 

He is survived by his mother Kaye F. Hiles, sons Brian J. and Walker J. Hiles, his daughter Brooke R. Hiles, his brother Michael A. (Lisa) Hiles, niece Ashley Hiles and nephew Logan Moroney.
