James Coder

July 5, 1951 - April 12, 2024

James Douglas Coder, 72, of Crown Point, Indiana formerly of Plainfield, Indiana passed away peacefully
April 12, 2024. He is survived by his son Cory Coder (Kari) of Crown Point, IN , daughter Nikole
Montgomery of Phoenix, AZ. Grandchildren Mason and Hudson Montgomery, Isabella and Maximillian
Nikruto and Jameson Coder.

James, affectionately known as “Gump” by his grandchildren spent his childhood in Hartford City, IN and
over 25 years as a car salesman for McIntire Chevrolet in Indianapolis, IN. He loved his mom’s cooking,
Jimmy Buffet and taking his children to car races and basketball games.

James spent his retirement years with his grandchildren, enjoying weekly trips to the library and getting milkshakes. He watched his
youngest grandchild take his first steps and went to every school program he could. He never missed an
episode of Jeopardy, loved crossword puzzles, had the best head of curly hair and never saw a poker
game he wouldn’t join.

James will be remembered for his truly good heart, generous soul and quick wit. We will miss him
dearly.

Arrangements are entrusted to Geisen Funeral, Cremation & Reception Centre.

In memory of James Coder, William Coder lit a candle

Dad I will miss everything about you. You were a good man with a heart of gold. You always made us laugh with your quick comebacks and sarcasm. You never wanted anyone to worry about you. You wanted the best for your children and would give the shirt off your back to anyone who needed it. I hope you are with Ramo finally and with everyone you ever loved in life - Grandma Duke and your Father. I pray Jesus wrapped his arms around you and you are light and joyful as you should be. We love you Dad

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
