James Robert Sajewski

James R. Sajewski, 73, passed away on July 19, 2026, after a difficult but courageous fight with illness. Even during his hardest days, Jim's strength and determination never wavered, and his resilience will be remembered by all who knew and loved him. Born on September 16, 1952, in Cleveland, Ohio, Jim was a graduate of Nordonia High School and a resident of Cuyahoga Falls. He dedicated 49 years to the rubber manufacturing industry, beginning his career the day after high school graduation and retiring in 2019 after serving in a variety of roles, including molder, process engineer, sales manager, and plant manager. Jim enjoyed golfing, often joking that he was best at driving the cart, and spent many years playing men's recreational softball. Above all, he will be remembered for the love he shared with his family and the many memories they will forever cherish.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Harry and Jeanne Sajewski.

Left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife, Christine Sajewski; stepson, Charles Phelps; granddaughter, Bailey Phelps; sister, Suzanne Sajewski; nephews, Bart Flanagan and Andy Sobczak; niece, Kali Sobczak-Venditti; and many other loving family members and friends.
