September 8, 2015 Leave a comment


James Boyd Fleischman was born near Palmyra, Nebraska, to AJ and Mabel (Kunz) Fleischman on February 2, 1926, and entered into his eternal rest on September 3, 2015 at his home surrounded by family.

James and his farming parents moved to the Tekamah area with six brothers and one sister when the children were young.

On February 19, 1952, James married Dorothy Bowden at the First Baptist Church in Tekamah.  The couple was blessed with five children to play and work together with on the farm they called home.

He was a son, brother, husband, uncle, dad and grandpa.  He managed all of these roles with love and fishing. He taught many of his grandkids the art of baiting a hook, catching a fish, and then letting the fish go again.  Over the years, he could be found often with a kid or two on his lap reading or rocking.  He was a 4-H leader and junior high Sunday school teacher.  He held many leadership roles in his church and was involved in various farm related organizations for many years, contributing to his lifestyle as a farmer. He followed his children and grandchildren in their adventures wholeheartedly.  He was always teasing, always loving, always supporting, and was a friend to all! God was his refuge and James now resides in the presence of his King.

Left behind to honor and make him proud are his wife of 63 years, Dorothy; his children, Karen (Judson) Byleen of Lincoln, NE,  Allen (Becky) Fleischman, Kim (Kathy) Fleischman, Dennis (Judy) Fleischman all of Tekamah, NE, and Chris (Julie) Fleischman of Herman, NE; grandchildren, Austin (Karlie) Byleen, Rachel (Cody) Madsen, Amanda Byleen, Ryan and Garrett Fleischman, Matt Fleischman, Bailey, Brett, and Ben Fleischman, Jessica and Jadyn Fleischman, Melissa (Mike) Simmons, Mark (Adrianne) Ray, and Kiley Ray; great-grandkids, Landen, Logan, and Brecken Byleen, Adelyn Madsen; 10 step-great-grandchildren; two brothers, Morris (Bonnie) Fleischman and Orval (Helen) Fleischman; many nieces, nephews and family members. We promise to make you proud Grandpa James!!
