James Flewelling

On Thursday, October 24, 2024, James “Jim” Flewelling “Flew” of Janesville, WI gained the wings he so deserved surrounded by his family who adored him.

Jim was born November 13, 1942, the son of Carroll and Beulah (Prasser) Flewelling. He grew up in Muskego, WI and graduated from Muskego High School in 1960. A few years after graduating, he served for four years in the U. S. Army, stationed in Alaska as a dog handler with the military police. Following his discharge, he pursued a career with the Janesville Police Department. After leaving the police department, Jim bought the Stadium Club Bar which he operated successfully until selling it. Jim was then employed and retired from Rock County 911 Communications.

Jim married his favorite girl, Melodie on his 50th birthday, November 13, 1992. Jim will be remembered for his warm heart, his sense of humor and his love for his family, fishing, animals, gardening and painting.

Jim is survived by his loving wife of nearly 32 years, Melodie; Seven children, Scott Flewelling, Emily (David) McDonald, Samantha (Tim) Lippens, Prescott Lawrence, Zac Lawrence, Mitch Flewelling and Khali (Hunter) Nordeng; grandchildren, Nathan, Heidi, Brody, Emma, Kimmy, Ke’Maries, Addie, Veda, Ruthie, Hudson and his newest grandson, baby Parker James; special nieces and nephews and many forever friends.

Although our time with Agrace Hospice was short, we would like to thank them for their kindness and compassion. A special thank you to his niece, Janet, for her guidance during his journey home.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the family to be given to Jim’s favorite yearly event, TAKE A VET FISHING.
