James Stelljes Obituary

James "Jimmy" Arthur Stelljes
April 23, 1971 - October 31, 2025
Jimmy Arthur Stelljes peacefully passed away surrounded by family on October 31, 2025, at the age of 54. He was preceded in death by his dad, Phillip Arthur Stelljes. He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Tammy; their children The Big Three, Sami Jordan (Manley), Bailey Hill (Cody) and Tyler Stelljes; four grandchildren, Paxton, Abbi, Aspen and Baby J. (soon to be); his mom, Paulette Stelljes; and his sister, Stephanie Stelljes. Jimmy served our country in the United States Air Force for nine years. Jimmy dedicated years to many professions but primarily in car sales. Jimmy was well-known for being a mentor and big brother to many. He had many adventures and passions in his life including skateboarding, snowboarding, hunting, fishing, gaming, and most of all golf. He was known by all for his words of wisdom, sarcasm, wittiness, go-getter spirit, helping hand and biggest of all love for his family. In lieu of flowers and gifts the family has requested any desired contributions be sent in honor of Cancer Research. Our teddy bear, we love you 3,000!
