James A. Salvatierra was born in Blythe, CA on December 26, 1990 to Valerie Jean Nenigar and Joseph "Pepe" Salvatierra. James passed away on July 31st, 2022.

James was a part of the Ehrenberg Fire department for a few years. James was currently employed at Xpo Logistic and was a part of the team for 8 years. His coworkers were like family to him and he loved them all. They were always cracking jokes and having fun. James had a smile and laugh that was contagious and he was always a positive person. He was the master of all machines; if there were any type of equipment that needed to be moved at work, they would call James to figure out how to start and move it. James loved music and was always singing, whether it was at work, in the car, or in the shower. He had to sing.

James met the love of his life in October 2016. Kristina put the sparkle back in his eye and changed his life. They worked hard and played harder together. They had three dogs that were their children: Lucy, Nala, and Mack. They were always on some kind of adventure with their boat or RZR. If James wasn't at work, he was out of town or at jungle beach or the desert with his RZR and his friends and family. James loved fishing more than anyone and he shared his love for fishing with Kristina, Isaiah, Omar and Jake. James spent most of his time with Kristina, Isaiah, Destiney, and Omar by his side.

James was preceded in death by his mother, Valerie Jean Nenigar, who he loved dearly and his best friend but more of a brother Mason Phipps, his uncle Mike, Grandparents Ronald and Diane Nenigar, and Joseph C. and Mary Salvatierra.

James is survived by his fiancee Kristina and their dogs, father Joseph "Pepe", sisters Jessica, Jennifer, and Brittany, brothers Chad and Matt, and numerous aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews. James will truly be missed by everyone.
