John Joseph Connors III, age 62, of
Marengo, Ohio died Thursday, July 10, 2025. He was born in Columbus,
Ohio on August 12, 1962, to the late John Joseph Connors II and Carol
F. (Myers) Connors.John attended Bishop Watterson High
School and was a graduate of Whetstone High School. He was a
Volunteer Firefighter/EMT for Big Walnut Joint Fire Department. John
worked for over 30 years for the Ohio Department of Youth Services
and from there worked for RKE Trucking as a driver.
He was a troop leader for Boy
Scouts of America and a youth sports coach for Highland Community
baseball, football, and basketball. John was also a member of
Alcoholics Anonymous and had over 35 years of sobriety.
John enjoyed hunting, fishing, Ohio
State football, mushroom hunting, riding motorcycles, reading and
classic rock. He enjoyed live music, especially catching the Hoodoo
Soul Band perform on Sundays at Rumba Café.
John was willing to help anyone
with anything, from fellow AA members to strangers stuck on the side
of the road. He could not go anywhere without running into an old
friend or making a new one. John was the type of guy who cared about
everyone else more than himself. He loved volunteering and
contributing to his community. There was one achievement that meant
more than all the others in his life, and that was his four children.
No matter where his life took him, his children were always in his
thoughts, and he only wanted the best for them. John was a unique and
special person. He will always be loved and forever missed by all who
were blessed to know him.
Left to cherish his memory are his
girlfriend, Carol Price; children, David Connors, Eleni (Logan)
Davis, Anna Connors, and Ian Connors; siblings, Chris (Pam) O’Connor
and their daughter, Fiona O’Connor, and Jane (Charles) Baker and
their children, Michael, Marie, and Erin Rush & Amanda Carson;
his beloved dog, Finn; many friends and extended family members.
John was preceded in death by his
parents, John J. Connors II and Carol F. Connors.
A special thank you to Bill Teders
and family for loving John as one of your own.
