G. James “Jim” Fewless

Age 73, passed away May 6, 2023.  He was born August 25, 1949, in Lansing, to Raymond and Helen Fewless.  Jim graduated from Gabriel’s High School and from Aquinas College.  He worked as an accountant for several companies, most recently at Spartan Irrigation.

Jim was a devoted husband, father, and “Bappa” and will be missed by:  his wife, Susan Mills; daughters, Sarah Mills and Katherine “Katie” (Steven) Wilcox; grandchildren, Jordan (Brian) Morton, Dominic (Kieu-Vi) Maynard, Nicholas Snyder, Maya Romankewiz, Ada Wilcox, Caleb Wilcox, and Elijah Wilcox; great-grandchildren, Joy Morton and Messiah Morton; sister, Marianne (K.C.) Liu; sisters-in-law, Cheryl Fewless and Nancy Derheimer; brothers and sisters-in-law, Sam and Chris Sinicropi, Rick and Anne Sigourney; and several nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family.  He was preceded in death by his parents and by brothers, Rodger and Garry Fewless.

Jim loved Notre Dame, keeping a pristine-looking yard, reading books, and listening to Jimmy Buffet. Most of all, he loved his family. His grandkids and great-grandkids were truly the apples of his eye, never missing an opportunity to be at a game or meet as their number #1 fan, a concert or recital, or even as the reliable transportation; he was a beloved Bappa above all else.

Jim’s family will receive friends at the Estes-Leadley Holt/Delhi Chapel from 3:00 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 11,2023, with prayer and eulogies at 7:30 p.m.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, or to the charity of one’s choice, in memory of G. James Fewless.
