Jim's obituary

On Sunday, January 15, 2023, James "Jim" Scheltens (71), loving husband and father, passed away at the age of 71. Jim was born on June 23, 1951 in Oak Park, Illinois to John and Lorraine Scheltens. He received his metallurgy degree from the University of Illinois in 1970 and held high professional jobs his entire career, spending the last 9 years retired, happily living his vibrant passion for battling conquests, traveling near and far, and enjoying a slower paced life well-deserved with Susan, Cindy and cat Monco. Jim led a full life and opened his heart and home to those he loved and positively impacted the lives of so many friends and families along the way. Jim is predeceased by parents John and Lorraine Scheltens and brother Thomas Scheltens. Jim is survived by wife Susan Scheltens, children Cindy Scheltens, Samantha Nollen (grand daughter Zoey), Dennis Nollen, siblings John (Pat) Scheltens, Nancy (Jed) Owen, Donald (Cindy) Scheltens, Linda (Rob) Gora,  nephews and nieces Cody (Daria), Holly, River, Autumn (Chris), Patty, and Maeve.
