2017. John was born on June
23, 1960, in Massillon, Ohio, the
son of James and Shirley Moder.
He lived in the

most of his life and was known
for his kind and generous spirit.
He inherited his father's love of
the outdoors and enjoyed hunting
and fishing. His other passion

road trips with his riding
buddies.
He was preceded in death by his father, James R. Moder, Sr.

son, Brandon Moder of Beach City; a brother, James R. Moder,
Jr. (Butch) of Brewster; a sister, Bonnie (Ralph) Cale, of Massillon;
nephews, James, Jared, Jesse, Lucien, and Isaac Cale, and a
very special friend, his crazy angel Vicki Mercer. He was also
blessed with a very close circle of friends, especially his "Brewster
Boys."
The family would like to extend its heartfelt gratitude to Dr.
Raza Khan and Staff and Aultman Palliative and Hospice. It was
John's wish to be cremated. Friends may call and pay their last
respects and offer condolences to the family on Monday, November

I remember John when he worked for Belden and Blake. He drove truck for them and was a hard worker. You could depend on John to get the job done. He was a good man and I'm sure he will be missed by many. Rest in peace John.
