John David Rosenberg

John David Rosenberg, 77, passed away peacefully on September 16, 2025. John was born December 20, 1947, in Warren, Ohio to John and Gladys (Harshbarger) Rosenberg. He graduated from Howland High School in 1965. Immediately after graduation, John enlisted in the United States Coast Guard where he served on the USS Woodbine as an electrician, stationed for a time in Okinawa. After the Coast Guard, John began working at Packard Electric as an electrician until his retirement in 2002. John spent several years as an instructor at the Trumbull Rod and Gun Club teaching the hunter safety course. John had an immense love for hunting and fishing; he was always eager to talk about his “biggest catch” or his “best shot”. He enjoyed a number of hunting trips over the years and began charter fishing so he could share his passion with others.

John is survived by his children Michael (Renee) Rosenberg of Michigan, Stacey (Michael) Grody of Michigan, Travis (Jennifer) Rosenberg of Michigan; step-daughters Nancian (Damon) Meek of Toledo, Staci (Tracey) Direnzo of Austintown, Leah Montesano (Nathan Schiffrik) of Maryland, brother Alan (Christine) Rosenberg, nephew Neal (LeAnn) Rosenberg, niece Joy (Jeff) Pitzer, several grandchildren and his best friend and fishing buddy Wilbur Hall.

John was preceded in death by his wife Katherine (Montesano) Rosenberg and his parents, John and Gladys Rosenberg.

The family would like to thank all of the staff at Elmwood Assisted Living and Akeso Hospice for the excellent care they provided. The family will honor the life of John privately without public service or gathering. Any memorial contributions can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Edward J. Fox & Sons Funeral Home, 4700 Market St. Boardman.
