IREDELL - James “Bo” Kenneth Wigglesworth, of Iredell, passed away unexpectedly at home on Sept. 18, 2026. He was 64. Born on Aug. 4, 1962, in Stanton.
Bo will be remembered as a very sweet and quiet man whose kindness made others feel welcome. He loved people, never met a stranger, and lived as a great Christian man who loved the Lord.
Away from work, Bo found joy in simple and meaningful things. He loved to fish at the lake and especially enjoyed going fishing off the docks. He loved going to rodeos, building things with wood, and spending time with his animals. He also loved traveling to Port Aransas and going to the beach, places that brought him happiness and peace.
Above all else, Bo treasured being with Anita. Marrying Anita, the love of his life, was among his proudest accomplishments, and theirs was a life marked by deep companionship. They were always together, and wherever they went, they went side by side. Some of the most cherished memories of Bo are of fishing, being together, and sharing the everyday closeness that meant so much to them both. He was a good husband, and the love he gave so freely will remain a lasting gift.
Bo is survived by his wife Anita Wigglesworth, with whom he shared a devoted and loving life. He is also survived by his siblings Michael Oppizzi and wife Jana, of Chattanooga, Tennessee and Nena Winsett and husband Mike of Cleburne.
He was preceded in death by his parents James Kenneth and Alice Faye Wigglesworth. Arrangements were entrusted to Lawson Funeral Home.
