John Richard Kamm, aged 78, passed away on November 8, 2025, in Akron, OH. Born on May 6, 1947, John devoted much of his life to service, both in the military and in his community.
John served honorably in the United States Air Force from 1966 to 1970, a period during which he developed a deep bond with his fellow servicemen and a strong sense of duty that he carried throughout his life. After his military service, he retired from BICO, where he was respected for his work ethic and camaraderie.

Surviving John is his cherished partner, Georgia Cope, the love of his life; his sister, Linda (Chuck) White; daughters, Lisa (Jeff) Miller and Kelsey Kamm; grandchildren, Kramer, Nicolas, Robby, Keelan, Brett, and Avah; and great-grandchildren, Layla, Giovanni, and Annabell. He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Dorothy Kamm; his brother, James Kamm; and his nephew, Mark White.
