James F. Fleming, Jr. “Sarge”, 76, of Harrisburg, passed away at home surrounded by family on Wednesday, November 12, 2025. Born in Wadsworth, OH, on March 27, 1949, he was the son of the late James F. Fleming, Sr. and Mary (Held) Fleming. He was also preceded in death by his sister, Polly Henderson, and brother, Gary Fleming.

James proudly served his country in the U.S. Army in the Vietnam War and for a total of 22 years, retiring as a Master Sergeant. He spent the majority of his service with the 704th Maintenance Battalion. He was a member of the American Legion Post 0998–Lawnton in Harrisburg, PA. After his military career, he worked for YRC Freight (formerly Yellow Freight) for 25 years as a Supervisor of Mechanics in Lancaster, PA.

He loved sports—especially football, baseball, and NASCAR—and was an avid Cleveland Browns fan. Most of all, he was devoted to his family as a loving husband, father, brother, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He will be deeply missed.

James is survived by his loving wife of 21 years, Denice A. (Hickey) Fleming; his children, Colleen Fleming (Andy Shive), Michelle Fludovich (Stephen), Melissa Colón, and Michael Matson (Dawn); his grandchildren, Justin, Caleb (Kayleigh), Cody, Sarah, Hannah, Issabella, and Landon; his great-grandchildren, Mathias and Silas; siblings Edna Shaw, Richard Fleming (Vickie), Lois Wheeler, and David Fleming (Sandra); as well as many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
