James Jonathon Coulter (Jon in civilian life, Jim in the Army), age 69, passed away peacefully at Mount Carmel St. Ann's Hospital in Columbus, OH on December 30, 2017.

Coulter, his sister Jennifer Coulter Kramer, sister-in-law Sandra Crawford Coulter and by all three of his children Robert Coulter, Maija Coulter Akerlund and Erin Coulter Canini. He graduated from Whetstone High School in 1966 and entered the US Army in 1967, retiring as a Sergeant First Class in 1987. Jon was a devoted father and grandfather who had a life-long passion for collecting and came to Jesus late in life, though he was a past member of Indianola and Overbrook Presbyterian Churches. He is survived by his brothers. Joseph M. Coulter of Columbus, OH, and Colonel (USAF Ret.) Robert (Anne) Coulter of Gainesville, VA; his brother-in-law.
