James Thomas Biggs' Obituary
James Thomas Biggs, 72, passed away on Tuesday, February 18, 2020, at his home in Ashburn, Virginia.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, he was the son of the late Rupert and Angela Biggs. After serving in the Army, Jim returned home and married his high school sweetheart, the late Marue Biggs. Jim earned his business degree from Eastern Michigan University while working a full-time corporate job and raising a family.
In 1987, the family moved to Northern Virginia and Jim continued his career at Seabury & Smith, managing a call center and IT team. He moved on to implement these departments in Asia and South America. He was a charismatic leader known to put his people first.
Jim and Marue settled in Lake of the Woods in 2000, where Jim eventually retired. He lived life to the fullest and enjoyed many fine days playing golf with the Goofers, taking rides on his pontoon boat, and spending time with family and friends. Jim loved a big laugh, classic movies, music, and visiting Virginia wineries.
Jim is survived by his daughter Deidra Biggs, son Darren (Sara) Biggs, and grandson Cole Stevens. He is also survived by his brother, Rupert (Kathy) Biggs.
