James A. Nechodom, age 69, passed away peacefully with family by his side due to complications from heart surgery at St. Elizabeth Hospital on Thursday, May 25, 2023. He was born in Appleton on January 13, 1954 to the late Robert and Lorraine (Vaubel) Nechodom. Jim followed his father and grandfather’s footsteps into law enforcement with a career that spanned over 40 years. He spent 30 years of his career servicing the Little Chute Police Department (Fox Valley Metro Police Department) until his retirement in 2008. He also spent time as an Outagamie County Deputy Sheriff and as an officer with the Shiocton Police Department. He continued to service the community by providing security at the Outagamie County Fair, the Great Wisconsin Cheese Festival, and WIR.

In his free time, Jim enjoyed playing cards with family and friends and taking his chances on scratch off tickets. Jim had a gift for gab and loved sharing stories and jokes with anyone he ran into. His pride and joy was spending time with and spoiling his three grandchildren. He earned the nickname “Quarters Grandpa” because he never arrived empty handed.

Jim is survived by his sons: Todd (Tanya) Nechodom of Kaukauna and Matt (Emilie) Nechodom of Menasha; grandchildren: Nolan, Nathan, and Grace; brothers: Michael (Pat), Robert (Debbie), Bruce (Tanya), Jeffrey (Karen), and Duane (Connie) Nechodom; and sisters: Carol Kelly, Linda Meidam, Mary (Dave) Peterson, Joann Nechodom, Debbie Nechodom, and Patty (Ron) Havel.
