James M. Tvaroch 1946-2026

James was born Feb. 2, 1946, in Warren, to Joseph and Anna Tvaroch Lesko.

The fourth of nine children, he was a proud graduate of Warren G. Harding High School. After high school, Jim proudly worked and later retired from HK Porter (Peerless-Winsmith Inc.)

Also known as YaYa to close family, Jim was an avid bowler, enjoyed the outdoors and was always lending a helping hand to family and friends. He loved watching the Cleveland Browns and Notre Dame “Fighting Irish” football. He was a Warren G. Harding football season ticket holder for over 40 years and didn’t miss a game. He enjoyed watching and attending all of his grandchildren’s activities and sporting events.

He is survived by his daughter, Jennifer (Mark) Pflager; grandchildren, Brenden, Madysen and Emmah Mostoller; and one great-granddaughter, Athena Mostoller. He is also survived by brothers, Francis (Jackie), John and Michael (Susan); one sister, Theresa; and several nieces, nephews and many cousins; as well as many dear friends who were like family.

Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Joseph and Anthony; his sisters, MaryAnn and Margaret; and his nephew, Joe-Paul.

Per James’ request, cremation has taken place.

A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
