He graduated from Shelby Senior High and Pioneer Career and Technology Center in 1990. John found his calling working in prisons as a corrections officer and often joked, “I’m not afraid to go back to prison”. He was an avid “Jeeper” and driving with the top down was always a welcome adventure. He adored his grandchildren and could always be counted on to pick on them and share a good snack.
John leaves behind his parents, John Sr. and Evelyn Steele; children, Brittany, Kaitlyn, Christopher (Natalie), Cassie, Brittany and Devin; grandchildren, Dakota, Bryce, Phoenix, Ethan, Kallie, Oaklynn, Raelynn, Elleanor and Grayson; three sisters, Rita (Ken) Moore, Rhonda (Duane) Borgelt, Anita (Roy) Stevens. He also leaves behind his fiancée, Sarah Jordan; mother of his children, Beth Morgan; and multiple nieces, nephews, family and friends.
The family asks all to join in a celebration of John’s life to be held on Friday, March 22, 2024, at 5:30 p.m. at Potter’s House, 374 Willowood Drive East, Ontario, Ohio.
Advantage and Cremation Services by Wappner is honored to serve the family.
