Kenneth Jodon Obituary
Kenneth M. Jodon passed away Monday, September 8, 2014 in his home in North Canton, Ohio, after a brief illness.
Ken was born in Akron, Ohio on July 16, 1955 to parents Robert Patterson and Shirley Townsend.
Ken was known for his adventurous spirit, dedication to his work and his tremendous love for his family. From an early age, he worked hard to provide for his family. He graduated from Garfield High School in Akron and enlisted in the U.S. Army. After completion of active duty he returned from Hawaii to Ohio. He was a skilled mason and welder and an engineer without the formal degree.

During his free time he loved to ride his Harleys, garden and spend time with his family. He had a profound appreciation for nature.

He loved being a grandfather to his four grandchildren, Karmen Jacewicz, Amani Jacewicz, Zendra Jacewicz and Jackson Manns.
Ken was a great friend, uncle, cousin and nephew to many. He is remembered with great love by his first wife, Karen Jodon of Barberton; brother-in-law, Rogerio Trindade of Barão de Cocais; and aunt, Betty Matthews of Akron. He was preceded in death by his parents, Shirley Townsend and Robert Patterson; uncle, Dave Matthews; and sister, Robin Wright. In addition he leaves sisters, Irene Massaro, Alice Hoover and Tammy Smith all of Ohio.
