He was born on October 3, 1979 in Fairfax, Virginia to his late mother Jean Gillis and father Roger Wood Sr. James was an overnight stocker at Home Depot before his cancer diagnosis and greatly enjoyed it and his coworkers, many of which he would consider his friends. He loved anything mechanically inclined and spent most of his time collecting tools and working on whatever project he was interested in. He is preceded in death by his mother Jean Gillis. He is survived by father Roger Wood Sr., brothers Roger Wood Jr. and Kyle Gillis Jr. as well as sisters Judy Moore, Kelli Lawrence, Claudia Wood, Cynthia Walls, Dale Sacra, and Cherokee Daniels.
