Jeremy D. Kellar

Jeremy D. Kellar, 46, passed away peacefully at home on October 21, 2026 surrounded by his family. Born in Barberton, Ohio to Dearreald and June (Patterson) Kellar, he was a lifelong resident of the Ellet area of Akron. He constantly took others under his wing as his "brothers" or "sisters". God gave him a big heart and he shared that heart with everyone. Jeremy took pride in working with his hands, both in construction as well as security. He also worked as an EMT for a while, always helping others. Jeremy was a natural jokester who enjoyed watching sports, drawing, painting, reading, history and spending time with his family.

Jeremy will be sadly missed by his wife, Cara; children, Lillian, Bailey, and Raymond "RJ" Kellar; step-children, Rachel (Darrell) Irons, William Leyland, Sammie Gidley; parents, Dearreald and June Kellar; sisters, Sarah, Karli, Hallie Jo; canine best friend, Hercules.
