James Salewski Obituary
James William Salewski, age 54, of Gordonsville, TN, passed away on February 7, 2025. He was born on May 7, 1970, in Kenosha, WI, to Ralph and Sandra Salewski who preceded him in death. James was a smart, kind man who never met a stranger and would help anyone in need. A big kid at heart and mechanical engineer by trade, he used his skill and creativity to make toys with his 3D printer for his granddaughter, Naomi. He mostly enjoyed spending time with those that he loved whether that be in nature, playing video games, or sharing a meal with loved ones, anything to prioritize quality time.
James is survived by his children: William Blake Salewski and Kayla (Stephen) Yun; granddaughter, Naomi Yun; and siblings: John (Keri) Salewski, Ingrid (Randy) Upchurch, and Dorothy Bright.
