J Norbert Tendick, 49, of Shawnee Mission, Kansas, passed away on June 23, 2024. Born in Shawnee Mission on February 3, 1975, to Judy and the late Jay Tendick, J was a charismatic and playful individual who cherished his family deeply.

J attended Shawnee Mission West High School and worked hard to learn and master the trade of plumbing. He was proud to be a member of Plumbers & Gasfitters Local 8.
