John Enright Obituary
John "Jed" Edward Enright , age 74, a lifelong resident of Toledo, died July 20, 2017 at his home. He was born May 24, 1943 to the late William and Eileen (Howard) Enright.
John was a just man, always desiring what was fair and right. He will be remembered for leaving a legacy of love. His family always came first, as he recognized and appreciated their unique needs and characteristics, loving each of them with unconditional support and compassion. He was the first call to most in times of joy or strife, his unique ability to counsel without judgment wrapped you in comfort. John truly enjoyed sharing in conversation with everyone and knew no strangers. His passions also included backyard cook outs, flea markets and antique shows, where he spent many joy-filled hours.
John was employed in retail sales for many years. Most commonly known as 'John from Clark Oil' (Monroe Street), John enjoyed socializing and building friendships within the community.
John is survived by his wife of 45 years, Mary Ann "Molly" (McKeown) Enright; sister, Sheila (Enright) Moran; children, John Enright, Steve Enright, Teri McNall, Christopher Enright (Alison), Megan Enright and David Fisk (Laura); 11 grandchildren; and 5 great-grandchildren.
He was also preceded in death by brothers, William and Patrick Enright.

My deepest condolences to the family of Jed Enright. He was a kind,intelligent and remarkable young man when we were childhood friends. I was 13, he was 16. I spent many hours with him listening to all he had to say while he was working on his car"The Princess". He influenced me greatly. I am so happy to hear he had a wonderful life,as did I because of all his advice. Jed will never be forgotten for all his goodness. May he rest in peace.
