James Adam Koneski

James Adam Koneski, 81, of Wilkes-Barre, passed away in the presence of his loving family on February 4, 2025.

Born January 28, 1944 in Sugar Notch he was a son of the late Adam and Margaret Wegrzynowicz Koneski.

Jim graduated from Marymount High School and worked at Weis Markets for thirty years as a meat department manager before retiring.

Jim was an avid Philly sports fan with a basement full of memorabilia that would put any museum to shame. He thrived off a diet of homemade McMuffins, cigars, and Rolling Stones music. Jim enjoyed fishing, hunting, Perry Mason, and spending time with his family every Sunday during football season to cheer on his Eagles. He looked forward every year to the end of the summer fish fry with his family. Jim was a fantastic, funny, and kind man whose passing leaves a large hole in the heart of his family.

His brothers and sisters Chet, Adam, Bill, Irene, and Margie preceded him in death. 

His wife of forty years Dawn; children Linda (Larry) Havard; Lisa (Rob) Urbanski; Jimmy (Beth) Koneski; Lori (Kel) Lukowich; Brett Koneski; Stacey (Carrington) Evans; grandchildren Ryan, Brittany, Alyssa, Amanda, Evan, and Ephraim; great-grandchild Isaiah Lukowich, and numerous nieces, nephews and friends will miss him very much.

Our entire family is grateful for the kindness of the Geisinger and Allied Hospice staff in Wilkes-Barre.

Celebration of Jim's Life takes place Saturday, February 8, 2025, with visitation from 3 to 5 PM at McLaughlin's, 142 South Washington Street in Wilkes-Barre. In honor of Jim, we ask that you wear Eagles green or Phillies red. 

Donations to the Eagles Autism Foundation are preferred and will honor Jim's memory. Go birds.
