Howard Koehl Obituary

Howard J. Koehl

Howard J. Koehl, 74, of Tiffin, passed away Monday, February 10, 2025, at Mercy Health - Tiffin Hospital.

He was born April 28, 1950, at Tiffin Mercy Hospital to George H. and Marybelle (Spence) Koehl. He married his wife, Shirley A. Koehl (Wilkinson) May 3, 1975, at Trinity United Church of Christ.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughter, Leslie A. Koehl (Jessie C. Sherman) of Cincinnati; son, Aaron C. Koehl (Meranda L. Koehl), grandsons, Jacob A. Koehl, Aiden J. Koehl, and Alex G. Koehl, all of Tiffin; and his brother, James G. Koehl (Lin Talbot-Koehl), also of Tiffin.

Howard retired from the Ohio Department of Transportation after 34 years as Transportation Manager. Following retirement, he worked several part-time jobs including in the meat department at Tiffin Kroger and in maintenance at Tiffin City Schools. Howard loved spending time with his beautiful grandchildren in their pool over the summer. He also enjoyed watching Cleveland Indians baseball, Cleveland Browns football and was incredibly excited to support and watch his Ohio State Buckeyes win a National Championship this year.

A celebration of life will follow at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Department or a charity of choice.
