James Sbelgio Obituary

James Franklin Sbelgio

James Franklin "Jim" Sbelgio, 60, of Tiffin, died Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2023, at his residence.

James was born Sept. 6, 1963, in Auburn, New York, to Frank A. and Elaine G. (Wyant) Sbelgio.

James is survived by his mother of Tiffin; son, Vincent Sbelgio of U.S. Air Force, Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, who followed in his father's footsteps in U.S. Air Force; brother, Steven (Kim) Sbelgio of Auburn, New York; sister, Nancy Sbelgio of Tiffin; and numerous cousins, nephews, and nieces.

He was preceded in death by his father, Frank A. "Frank Barber" Sbelgio.

James was a 1981 graduate of Williamsport Area High School and Jim will always be remembered as a loving and devoted father, son, and friend. He served honorably in U.S. Air Force before pursuing a career as an industrial electrician at National Machinery. Jim enjoyed nothing more than a day on the water fishing or a Sunday spent at a Cleveland Browns game (even if they would often let him down). James will be commemorated as a generous and kind man who always made his home feel like a home for everyone.

Arrangements have been entrusted to TRAUNERO FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORY, 214 S. Monroe St., Tiffin, Ohio, 44883, (419) 447-3113.
