John A. Kozup passed away unexpectedly on January 16, 2025, at the Warren Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 2473 North Rd. NE, in Warren, Ohio, where he had resided for several years. His passing occurred one week prior to his 78th birthday.

John was born in Warren on January 23, 1947, to Charles and Mildred Kozup of Warren.  John was a graduate of Lakeview High School in Cortland, class of 1965. He joined the U.S. Army in 1967 and served until he was honorably discharged in 1969.

Following his U.S. Army service John attended Ohio State University and Kent State University where he received the M.B.A. degree in Financial Planning. John spent a number of years living in Massachusetts as a Financial Planner.  He returned to the Warren area later in his life where he continued to assist others with their finances. Eventually, health problems forced him to reside in the Warren Nursing and Rehabilitation Center until his recent passing.
