Deacon John Willie Littles, Sr., 86, entered into eternal rest on March 16, 2026, at Pine View Nursing Home following an extended illness. Born on December 25, 1939, he lived a life deeply rooted in faith, service, and love for his family.

He attended the Bulloch County School System and later served his country faithfully in the United States Army from 1962 to 1969. After his military service, he built a strong and dedicated career. He began working in roofing with Wallace Wiggins and later joined Goodyear Tire and Nevil Tire for many years. He concluded his working career in management with Second Time Around Tire Company.

Deacon Littles was a proud member of the American Legion. Most importantly, he was a devoted member of City of David, where he faithfully served as a Deacon until his health declined. A devoted man of God, he cherished God’s Word, loved his family deeply, and never missed a chance to pray with those he loved.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Mary Johnson Littles and Willie W. Littles; his sister, Elizabeth Barbie; his first wife, Levada Jordan Littles; and his granddaughter, Whitney N. Bynes.
