Stephen Z. Balogh "Bear", 72, passed away November 23, 2025. He was born May 6, 1953 in Akron, the son of the late Zolton and Elsie Balogh. Steve will always be remembered as a man who had a golden heart and a noble character. He was a great role model, always doing the best he could, willing to help others, and always was in the best spirits. People always had a good thing to say about him. In his free time, he loved pretty much anything as long as it was outdoors like fishing, going for a hike, and hunting. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his sister Janet Lee Scott. Steve is survived by his brothers John Anthony Balogh and William Balogh; and his sons Stephen D. Balogh and John A. Balogh. The family will receive friends for a memorial gathering and service from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM, Tuesday, December 2, 2025 at the Adams Mason Funeral Home (791 East Market Street).
