Edmund Carl Rottmayer

Edmund Carl Rottmayer, age 82, of Akron went home to his Lord and Savior on Monday, January 19, 2026, at his home, surrounded by his family. Born on January 2, 1944 in Akron to the late Francis and Virginia {Claus} Rottmayer, Ed lived most of his life in the Medina area.

Ed graduated from Highland High School and the University of Akron with his Bachelor's in Engineering. Ed began his career with the City of Akron in their engineering department, and later joined his father Francis at the family business, Rottmayer Construction.

In his free time, Ed loved to be outdoors, camping and taking hiking trips with his boys Chris and Mike, and his nephew Joe. Ed was a talented landscaper, and created a Japanese garden in the backyard of his home he shared with Mary.
