Jonathan W. Apgar III

Jonathan Woodruff Apgar III died Sunday March 20, 2022, one day after his 75th birthday from dementia complications. We know life has to end, love doesn't. Jon was born in Cranford, New Jersey to Dorothy and Jack Apgar. He attended The Gunnery prep school and in 1970 graduated from Bucknell University, where he played soccer, hockey and baseball, with a degree in business administration. A job with Owens Corning brought him and his growing family to Toledo in 1978 and from there he became President of Genflex Roofing Systems - a division of Omnova Solutions. Jon's mantra "Run Until Tackled" fit him perfectly. He was a man of intellect, humor (he could make you laugh even when you were mad at him), humility, charisma, morality and endless energy. Jon's warm demeanor was infectious and his laugh a comfort to hear. He was known for his long, entertaining (often hilarious and self effacing) stories, which he loved to repeat often. He was preceded in death by his parents Dorothy and Jack, his sister Betty and grandson Grayson. Surviving are his wife Jo-Ellen, his former wife Debbie Apgar, three adult sons Jason (Brittany), Josh (Terri), and Benjamin Apgar, and his adult step-son Russ (Quin) Kline and six amazing grandchildren Haley, Tristin, Zoe, Jack, Ryker and Mae, his sister Joan Bruning, and his many nephews. Of note, Jon and his two sisters all had three boys. Jon loved it! He had several passions in his life. His woodworking and building skills were superb, golf became his sport of choice, he was a wizard with excel spreadsheets, loved Clive Custler books, Makers Mark bourbon and every Journey song/album. We would like to extend our most sincere thanks to The Elizabeth Scott Community for their amazing care of Jon. It is an organization that excels in affording every resident and their family members dignity and heartfelt compassion. And a thank you to Hospice of Northwest Ohio as well for their guidance and care. To say that his family and friends will miss him is an understatement.

Visitation will begin at 10:00 a.m., with a short memorial service to be held at 12:30. . Interment will be a quiet immediate family event.
