Carl Norman Kellar II, known to most as "Bubba," age 61, passed away on June 13, 2023 at home with his family by his side. Born to Carl and Esther (Porterfield) Kellar in Warren, Ohio, he resided in the Akron area most of his life. Carl pursued a career as an industrial mechanic for Jay-Em Aerospace and S & C Manufacturing and could fix absolutely anything. His hobbies included music, drawing, fishing, and hunting. He also loved playing with his dog, Duke, and cat, Sassy, hanging out on his deck by the pool, vintage car shows, and bird watching with his wife, Anita. When his sons were young, he enjoyed coaching them in baseball and basketball. His favorite place was the family cabin, "Hillside Hideaway." And the most important thing in his life was being the best husband, father, and grandfather anyone could ever wish for.
He was preceded in death by his father, Carl Norman Kellar Sr., and his brother, Ben Kellar (Rita). Carl will be deeply missed by his wife of 39 years, Anita; children, Elaina (Kevin) Scharba, Dwayne (Kanani) Fuller, Kristyn (Nathan) Schneiders, Carl Norman Kellar III, AKA "Trey;" grandchildren, Kevin, Jimena, Taylor, Kane, Weston, Addie, Kailani; mother, Esther Kellar; siblings, Rusty (Tracee), Terry, Bobbi Jo (Mike), Dennis (Traci), Lewis (Ellen), Melissa (Keith) and many other loved ones.
Per his wishes, Carl has been cremated. Family and friends are invited to visit Saturday, June, 24, 2023 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Newcomer, 131 N. Canton Rd. 44305
