JOHN MARION LILES, SR., 62, beloved husband, father, and grandfather went to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, June 10th, 2020 after a two year battle with cancer. John was born January 15th, 1958 in Houston, Texas to Charles and Cathryn Liles. In God's care, John leaves his loving family: wife of 34 years, Mary Kaye Liles; son, John Jr. and daughters, Cathryn and Michelle Liles. In his last year, he was blessed with a grandchild, Leonardo Dean Carrillo. John also leaves behind brother, Ronan Liles; sister Kay Teykl and husband Terry; sisters Connie Wittig, Lori McArthur, and Shelly Liles. He is preceded in death by his parents, his sister Virginia Liles, and his brother James Liles. John was a lifelong Parishioner of St. Rose of Lima. He worked in the Oil and Gas industry in Pipe Design for over 40 years. During his free time, John loved to spend time with his family. His favorite activities included hunting and fishing. The deer lease was his absolute favorite place on earth, and he loved more than anything to spend his time teaching his wife and children about the great outdoors. John also spent much of his time coaching his children in sports such as baseball, softball and basketball. He had a great joy watching his children play sports and was their biggest fan. John had a great sarcastic sense of humor, a big heart, and sincerely loved his family and friends. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. John's accomplishments were many, but his legacy is a love of life he demonstrated daily and passed on to his family. The family will receive friends on Sunday, June 14, 2020 at Pat H. Foley Funeral Home from 5-8 pm with a Vigil-Rosary to be held 7:00 pm in the Chapel. Masks are required upon entry. Due to the limitations of Covid-19, a private Funeral Mass will be celebrated with immediate family on Monday, June 15, 2020 at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, with Rev. Msgr. James B. Anderson. The Rite of Committal will follow at Resthaven Cemetery.
