Joseph A. Horak Langham

Joseph A. Horak Langham, 32, of Akron, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly on July 24, 2026 doing what he loved, riding his motorcycle. He was born on Easter Sunday, April 3, 1994. Joey was an amazing friend with a huge heart who would jump at a moment's notice to help anyone in need and was the ultimate handyman who could build or fix anything. He was a bright, energetic light to everyone who met him. He absolutely adored his soulmate and best friend Liv. They spent all their time together, attached at the hip. He lived for adventure, loved fishing, biking, shooting guns with his loved ones, walking his dogs Chico and Dobby, anything that kept him outdoors. He was a fantastic cook and always loved feeding people. Joe was a force of life, and he lived it to the fullest.

He will be deeply missed by his loving wife Olivia Langham, parents Aprial Jones (Jon Kuts), Joe Horak (Deanna Widuck), Mandy (Mike) Zrelak, and Ray and Vicki Hecker. He will be sadly missed by his sisters Lisa Horak Langham (Shaun Myers) and Annie Horak (Geoff Pratt), and brothers Dylan Horak, David Horak, Jamie Jones, Brian (Destiny) Jones, Sam Horak, and Tony Horak, niece Bella "Vyv" Linear-Langham, nephew Eddy Linear-Langham, grandparents, Pauline Larson and Don Hartman and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his grandparents Mark and Joann Langham, John Horak, and Carla Hartman.
