James is loved by many grandchildren: Phillip, Elisha, and Stephanie and their families; Brett and Lindsey; Brittany and Brandon; Christian (Tasha) Mutter, Kaitlyn (Corey) Taulbee, Nathan (Samantha) Mutter, and Gavin Mutter. Emily and her family; Lexi, and Owen; Brody and Elliot.
His memory will continue to live on as well through his great grandchildren, Grayson and Jaxson; Tinleigh and Parker; Addisyn, Riley, and Eliza; Gannon and Teagan.
He is also survived by his numerous nephews and his niece.
James was a lively man with such a bright spirit. Nothing was better to him than sitting on the front porch with his flowers and his dogs, Mia and Allie while watching the great grandkids make mudpies. He looked forward to Friday nights whether that came with scratching off lottery tickets with Jamie, David, Brody, and the gang or a full house full of his loved ones. He was the type of man who lived each and every day to the fullest and who loved everyone with everything he had. There's not a day that will go by without him being thought of and missed dearly.
Visitation will be held from 6:00pm-8:00pm, on Monday, September 13, 2021, at Newcomer Funeral Home, 4104 Needmore Rd., Dayton. Burial will be held privately with the family at Willow View Cemetery.
