James Coleman "Cole" Getchell, age 66, of Xenia, passed away Wednesday, December 1, 2021 at his residence. He was born March 5, 1955 in Dayton, Ohio the son of James Allen and Agnes Lenore (Gilbert) Getchell. In addition to his parents, Cole was preceded in death by his wife of 36 years, Beverly J. (Stevens) Getchell in 2014 and brother: Robert A. Getchell

Cole graduated from Xenia High School, Class of 1974, and was an Eagle Scout. He retired from APEX Tool Group.  Cole was very hardworker. He was proud to be a C&C machinist and enjoyed working with his hands, whether it was on cars, woodworking or metal. He was a jack-of-all-trades, and master of many. He enjoyed grilling and gardening and animals. Cole liked to spend time with friends at the Devil Wind Brewing Co., where in his words it was "good beer and good company." One of Cole's proudest accomplishments was to have been able to celebrate his 25 ^th wedding anniversary in Hawaii with his wife Beverly.

Cole was the ultimate superhero to his daughter: Jessica Nicole Getchell, who survives in Xenia. He is also survived by his sister: Melissa (Tim) Kisiah of NC; nephews: Timothy (Annelies) Kisiah and Jamie Kisiah; great-nieces and nephews; as well as numerous friends.

The family asks that donations be made to the Crossroads Hospice and Palliative Care, 8069 Washington Village Drive, Dayton, OH 45458.

Services will be held 1 PM Tuesday at McColaugh Funeral Home, 826 N Detroit St., Xenia. Visitation will be held 12 Noon Tuesday until the time of service at the funeral home. He will be buried with his wife at Woodland Cemetery at a later date.
