James R. Wisler passed away on November 10, 2026, at the age of 80. He was born on December 17, 1945, in Borea, Ohio to the late Charles and Isabelle Wisler.

James was a 1965 graduate of Flat Rock High School. He was a longtime member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Rockwood, a faith community that remained an important part of his life over the years.

He found great enjoyment in boating, camping, fishing, and being outdoors. He also treasured spending time with family and friends, and those moments will remain among the memories most dearly held by the people who knew and loved him.

James is survived by his wife, Susan Wisler (nee Laura); his sons, Charles (Suzanne) and Robert (Nancy); his grandchildren, Emma Wisler, Luke Wisler, AJ Wisler, Sara Wisler, and Jake Wisler; and his sister, Dorothy Schwab. He leaves behind a family who will remember him with love and gratitude, and who will carry forward the many memories they shared together.
