Jim was born on October 11, 1957, in Wyandotte, Michigan to James and Helen (Sertage) Fleming. He grew up there and attended Roosevelt High School graduating in 1976.  On June 10, 1988, Jim entered into marriage with the former Jane Ellen Kissel in Trenton, Michigan. Jim made his living working in maintenance for the Cross Country Inn in Southgate, Michigan.  He often enjoyed hunting and fishing, especially spending time at hunting camp.  He and his beloved dog and best buddy Heidi were inseparable.  In earlier years, Jim also liked to play softball.
