James "Jake" Stanley

Pottsboro, Texas
James S Jegelewicz (Jake) rode out of this life Friday evening February 11, 2022 after a long battle with COPD, pneumonia and the flu. He leaves his wife, Karen Dyslin Jegelewicz happy for the 21- year trip! Still telling his stories are his children, Teresa Jegelewicz Mayfield-Meyer and husband, Jim and Jeff Jegelewicz and wife, Renee. Karen’s children, Rachel Lueke and husband, Todd, Jason Vetterick and wife, Julie, and Deidre Williams and husband, Scott joined his family in 2001. He loved all of his 10 grandchildren and was looking forward to his first great grandchild next month.
Jake was born in Westfield, Massachusetts Thursday, March 14, 1940. He proudly retired a Sergeant First Class after 20 years in the Army as a Radar Maintenance Chief. He and Karen enjoyed membership in VFW 7873, American Legion 231 and Elks 238 Lakesite.
”Jake Da Snake” was a poet, artist, guitarist, motorcycle riding, fisherman and fixer of many things. Jake leaves his world of many friends and family a little dimmer.
