Listen to Obituary

JOHN HENRY ELFFERS, JR., age 37; passed away on Friday, November 29, 2024, to be with his Lord and Savior. Beloved husband of Christina Zawadzki; loving father of Liam and Logan; dearest son of John Henry and Joanne (nee Foraker); dearest brother of William (Sarah) and Grant (Olivia); uncle of Madelyn; son-in-law of Dan and Nancy Zawadzki; brother-in-law of Danielle Krain (Jordon); uncle of Benjamin and Zoey; cherished nephew, cousin and dear friend of many. John was a Jack of all trades, knowing how to fix or repair anything, especially the things that he broke. He was passionate about growing up in 4H and his love for animals. He found relaxation in fishing, hunting and any opportunity to teach his kids the outdoors. John worked hard and loved even harder and he loved all things Cleveland. The only thing bigger than John’s smile was his personality.  He will be missed by all who knew him, and his legacy will live on through his greatest blessing, his sons.  In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to Liam and Logan Elffers for their education, https://gofund.me/f7f6a920 .  All services at Chapel Hill Church, 1160 Howe Ave., Cuyahoga Falls, Friday, December 6, 2024 at 11 a.m. Please meet at church. Family and friends received at THE RIPEPI FUNERAL HOME, 5762 PEARL RD. (AT SNOW RD.) THURSDAY, December 5, 2024 from 3-7 p.m.
