John H. ‘Jack’ Karstetter III 1953-2023

John was born Sept. 12, 1953, in Indiana, Pa., the son of the late John H. Karstetter Jr. and Gloria Brickell Karstetter, and came to Youngstown in the 1960s.

Jack worked for Huntington National Bank and retired in 2018 after 30 years of service.

He was an avid golfer and bowler, and was very proud of his hole-in-one on the sixth hole at Lakeside Golf Course. Jack also enjoyed woodworking and truly enjoyed spending time with and caring for his pets.

Jack leaves to cherish his memory, his wife of 39 years, Claudette Mason, whom he married Feb. 18, 1984; a sister, Jody (Marty) Emrich of Austintown; several nieces and nephews; and his two furry friends, Katie and Butchie.

A sister, Jan Butterfield; and his in-laws, Robert and Helen Mason, and Bobby Mason, also preceded Jack in death.

Family and friends may gather to pay respects from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, April 29, 2023, at Kinnick Funeral Home, 477 N. Meridian Road, Youngstown, where a memorial service will take place at noon.

Jack’s family would like to extend a special and heartfelt thank you to all family and friends, Dr. Ravi and Dr. P. Solanki, for their kindness shown and care given to Jack during the last four weeks.

To those wishing to make memorial contributions, the family suggests donations be made to Southern Care Hospice, 970 Windham Court, Suite 9, Boardman, OH 44512, in Jack’s memory.
