John Fleming Obituary
Las Cruces - John B. Fleming 9/5/47-6/18/19
John (Jack) B. Fleming, beloved husband, son, father, finished his journey on this earth and went home to his Lord. On this side, he left his wife, Dolores, son Clint, grandkids, Michael, Caitlin, and John. On the other side he was received by his parents, Robert and Jane, and daughter Deborah. Jack was a patriot retiring from serving his country in the Air Force and the Department of Justice winning numerous commendations for his work as a Special Agent in internal affairs as well as a firearms instructor. He even served as an Air Marshal after 9/11. His early career included time as a Border Patrol Agent where he treated everyone he apprehended with respect and dignity. Jack received a degree in chemistry and was well-read in everything from the classics to textbooks on microbiology. As educated as he was, he was so down to earth and humble; always with a smile. This world was a much better place for his having been in it. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Dolores and Family,
We are sorry for the loss of Jack. Growing up, I always looked up to my brother Genes friends - they were the coolest of the cool. Jack always had time for me when he came over, even if just to just lend a smile and ask how I was. I will never forget him.
Peace Be With You,
Max and Beverly Dow

Mr. Fleming,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice for our Country-first when you served with the USAF and later when you served as a Law Enforcement Officer with the DOJ. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
Michael and Caitlin, sending Jack back to the USMC for Marine Combat Training.
