Dr. Fleming was my plastic surgeon from the time I was 6 mo. old.  until I was a teenager. 
I was born with a large  mold which covered about 50%of the side of my face. It was amazing what he did for me. Although life was difficult with being bullied about my face, after many surgeries I started to feel good about my looks. Dr. Fleming was so funny, caring and kind.  My mom said that he would pick me up from the hospital crib and say,  "Let's go Krista,"as I held out my arms for him. I was shy but mom said I was. always willing to go to him, even at age 1.  Then he would  take me for surgery.  We were so blessed to have found him.  I know that God had a part in finding him.  We are so sad to find out that he is gone, but we are just happy to find out when we started looking for him.  Jane, I hope you are doing well and we hope your marriage to him was good. God bless u and your daughters.  I am 50 years old now.  It's hard to believe that it has been so long.  I used to give him funny gifts.  When he turned 50, I gave him a sun visor with flashing colot lights. He wore it to work that day and when he wore it golfing, he was the envy of all his buddies. I will never forget him and the blessing that. he gave me. Love ❤️ Krista Patton 

Jane, I have known Jimmy since we were 14 years old in Hattiesburg, Ms. He was our neighbor and a wonderful friend of all my brothers.  He was at our house almost every day and I loved him like a brother. We moved to Greenwood,Ms. and so did he.  He and I sat by each other at GHS graduation.  I met you at our high school reunion a few years ago - I believe in Hattiesburg.  You were newly weds and he was so happy.  I was heart broken to hear of his death.  He was one of my favorite people I've ever known.  
I send my love and condolences.

I meet Dr Fleming through the Room in the Inn Odyssey Program.He was instrumental in my staying sober for two years now. Thanks to the family for allowing him to serve his Savior.

Dr.Fleming was a fine person and it was a pleasure to have known him personally.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Dr. Fleming through his work with the Tennessee Medical Foundation.  He gave of his time through voluntary service on our Physicians' Health Peer Review Committee.  His love and support for his fellow physicians was genuine and always present.  I will miss his warm and ready smile.

I'm so sorry to hear the news of Dr. Fleming's death. I worked with him for many years at West Side Hospital. He was a joyous person with a ready smile and a joke or two.

I have very fond memories of Dr Fleming working with him at West Side OR and knowing him through the years. He was a kind and generous man.  I will miss him.  Rest in Peace

Jane, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Although I never met your husband,his contributions to his community and fellow man will long be remembered.

Jane, I am so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed getting to know you and Jim through the design of your house. I also loved finding out that he had a previous close friendship with my Dad.  He always reminded me of my own Dad (Tom Lester) who is one of the best storytellers on earth. Jim will be missed, he was such a warm person.

Jane, I am saddened to hear about Jim's death. What a wonderful and gifted man, a true professional who will be sorely missed by many people.

Jim was my husband's, Joe Luttrell, best man at our wedding in 1981 and a cherished friend to both of us.  His heart was big as all outdoors and he loved life - his family, his friends, his co-workers, and people in general.  His contributions to my life as a supportive friend and to so many others will live on in our hearts. I have faith that he and Joe are having a big heavenly reunion.  Love to all the family and my sincerest sympathies.  He will be missed by so many.

Dr. Fleming you were a great teacher and mentor. Thanks for all the little talks we had concerning "The Odyssey Program". You will truly be missed and loved. Sheila DeBerry

Jane, I am so sorry for your loss. One of the best trips to Nashville was with your sweet Jim when he road along with me and my Korean friend. He was a gentle kind soul and I know he will be sorely missed. Jo Snodderly Frazier

Jim and I worked together at Nashville Jet Center.  He became a special friend and I enjoyed working with him very much.  He will be greatly missed by all.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family at this sad time.

As an employee of Nashville Jet center, I had the pleasure of knowing Dr Jim. His big smile, and laugh was infectious. He was a wonderful man, and friend.  
My prayers and thoughts are with each of you during this time.

Flem, as my dad would call him, had known Jim their since college days. I called him Jim because Dr. Fleming seemed to formal. I would see Jim mostly at the Vandy baseball games where he always asked how I was doing. He had a real and sincere tone about him, always taking the time to chat with me. He was as kind and generous a person as I knew . 
You will be missed Jim. We will keep your seat at the baseball game open next year in rememberance of you.
Thoughts and prayers for Jane, Janetta, Catherine, Karen, and their families.
 I hope Max has shown you around your new home. RIP

I knew Jim Fleming from the Fentress Bible Study Group at Woodmont Christian.  His comments on the study lessons were always sharp, in all meanings of that word. I will miss him.  Frank Freemon

Dr. Fleming will always have a special place in my heart.  In 1967. 1969, 1970 and 1986, he performed surgery on my son, Keith, for cleft lip and cleft palate repair.   He did a beautiful job.  In my eyes, Dr. Fleming was the best plastic surgeon on the planet.  Sending my regrets and BLESSINGS to the family.
----Helen Gannon  Donelson, Tn.

The world has lost a wonderful man, I'm so sorry for his family. I was one of his 1st patients as a child. In 1966 I caught 3 fingers in a washing machine. He was able to save part of each one. I had many surgeries over the years with him, as an adult I worked for SmithKline Lab as a courier & was lucky to have his office on my route there for I was able to see him several days a week. His office staff at the time had no knowledge of our long history until he called me "CRY BABY" one day. At that time he throughly enjoyed telling them all the story of our years together, and yes I was a "Cry Baby" then & today. I was fortunate enough to attend his retirement party from Plactic Surgery. I will treasure the times I spent with him always as well as letters & notes he sent me over the years. May God bless & keep you all at this sad time in all our lives.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Fleming many times in the same hospital's as he did in surgery. He was a wonderful man & did some of the most beautiful plastic surgery of surgeons I worked with. Blessed be the family that had him all these years.

Thinking of you...The Farrar Family of Dandridge, TN

I have many wonderfull memories of this man and his infectious laughter,oftentimes you would hear his laugh before you saw him.I am so sorry for your loss.
