John Robert Huth

John R. Huth, 63, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, August 22, 2023.

He is survived by his wife of 35 years Cathy Ivancic; daughters Jessica & Jules; brother Jim (Sue); John was preceded in death by his son Jacob; and parents Doug and Jolene.

John was born in Akron and lived many years in his favorite place, the home that his grandfather, John Rabb, built. He graduated from Canton Central Catholic in 1978 and went on to Marshall University where he played Division I football for four years. John worked as a property manager, lobbyist and political fundraiser. He had a great sense of humor and a willingness to help his family thrive. He would say, "I had my time in the limelight, now I get to help my wife and family succeed."
