Lt. j.g. James F. Lazevnick was a member of the United States Navy, serving in the Persian Gulf. He and his wife Linda lived in Newport News, Va.
Lazevnick was from Paulsboro and the son of John J. 'Jake' Lazevnick and Elizabeth 'Betty' (Taylor) Lazevnick.
Lazevnick's father, Jake, was a Navy pilot during World War II, who taught mathematics at Paulsboro High School and later became principal of the school.
Lazevnick was one of four children, his siblings being Mary Beth, John and Joseph.
Lazevnick’s cousin, Robert M. Damminger, Gloucester County’s freeholder director, but then a Paulsboro councilman, said, “He loved the Naval Academy ... His family is very proud of him.”
On July 30, 1987, Lazevnick, co-piloting the SH-3 Sea King helicopter he was assigned to, was killed when it crashed into the sea while attempting to land on the USS LaSalle, the command ship of United States Naval Forces protecting Kuwaiti oil tankers in the Persian Gulf against attack from Iran.
Lazevnick now rests at his beloved U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md.
