Ronald Eugene Prexta

Ronald E. Prexta, 78, of Akron, Ohio passed away Friday, January 6, 2023 after a brief illness.
Ron was born in Akron to the late Michael and Helen Prexta and was a lifelong area resident. A 1962 graduate of Archbishop Hoban High School, Ron was a veteran of the United States Army and retired from the City of Akron. He was a life member of the Akron Jednota Club and a member of Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic Church.
Ron was an accomplished woodworker and enjoyed restoring cars. He loved to travel and seek out the best places to have lunch with his son and grandsons. Ron's pop-up visits will be sorely missed by family and friends who were lucky to receive delicious home cooked food, a jar of his peppers, or just his warm smile.
Ron was preceded in death by his parents, Michael and Helen (Adzema) Prexta; brothers, Michael Prexta and Richard Prexta. Ron is survived by his son, Shawn Prexta (Shawna Graubner, son Garrett); grandsons Shawn "Bubba" Prexta and Gabriel Prexta; brother Robert Prexta (Kathy) as well as numerous nephews, nieces, and friends.
A Divine Liturgy will be held Saturday, January 14, 2023 at 11:00 AM at Holy Ghost Ukrainian Catholic Church, 1866 Brown Street, Akron, OH 44301, where friends may call for one hour prior, beginning at 10:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Holy Ghost Ukrainian Byzantine Church.
