James Jacob Rendleman, age 59, of Salisbury, NC, entered the Church Triumphant on August 18, 2026 at Novant Medical Center of Rowan.

Born March 23, 1967 in Norfolk, Virginia, he was the son of Bruce and Anne Rendleman, both deceased. His sister, Tracie Rendleman of Salisbury, survives.

A 1985 Salisbury High School graduate, James was a concrete finisher by trade. He also held several roles at Salisbury Motor Company, where his coworkers were like family. James was an avid sports fan, and his favorites were Carolina basketball and the Minnesota Vikings.

“You know”, Renn is in a better place. His tender, kind heart will not be forgotten. We especially thank Brady Mason for his tender care of James in his final hours, as well as friends who supported him, both in person and through contributions.
