James W. Fleeson 1963-2021

He was born July 16, 1963, in Salem, a son of Tom and Joan Fleeson of Columbiana.

Jim graduated from Columbiana High School, JVS, in 1982. He worked for many years at HDT / Lawless, where he helped design a chopper for Orange County Choppers and battery-operated floats for Disney in Orlando, Fla. His last place of employment was Dasher / Lawless Inc. in Warren, where he was an electrical engineer.

Jim loved being outdoors, especially on his tractor. He spent many hours in the woods and field at his home. He relaxed with his favorite music, including Motorhead, Tarsha, and the blues. He was an exceptionally kind and loving man, who valued his family above all else. His favorite title was ‘Pap,’ and he thoroughly enjoyed the time he spent with Kai and Cece.

In addition to his parents, Jim leaves behind his partner in life, Lori Hum; her sons, Zach (Brianna) Forney and Evan Forney (Maddy Schwartz); four brothers, Thomas, Sam (Jenny), Paul (Michelle), Edward (Cynthia) Fleeson; many nieces and nephews; and two grandchildren.
