- **Event Description**: Deer Park - John Ernest Platter, 75, of Deer Park, Ohio, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on November 6, 2025. He was born on March 30, 1950, to Hugh and Hazel (Wilde) Platter and grew up in Silverton, Ohio. John spent most of his life in Deer Park, where he built a life centered around family, hard work, and service to his community.

John is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Mary Irene Platter (nee Brinkman); his son, Tommy Platter (Chelsea); and his daughter, Kelly Wells (nee Platter). He was a proud grandfather to four grandsons: Ethan, Riley, and Zachary Platter, and Jonathan Wells.

John proudly served as Maintenance Supervisor and firefighter for Amberley Village, where he dedicated his career to keeping the community safe and running smoothly until his retirement. His commitment and reliability earned the respect of all who worked with him.

Beyond his professional life, John was happiest outdoors - especially when fishing on Lake Erie. He loved the peace and camaraderie that came with being on the water, and he shared that joy with family and friends whenever he could. He also had a passion for horse racing, enjoying the excitement, the strategy, and the thrill of the track throughout his life.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Deer Park Community Center, 7640 Plainfield Road, Deer Park, OH 45236 on January 16, 2026, at 6:30pm. Family and friends are invited to come together to honor John's life and share memories of the man who touched so many.

John will be remembered for his steady kindness, his willingness to help others, and the deep love he had for his family.
