John J. Palermo Obituary

With profound sadness, we say goodbye to John J. Palermo of Westlake, Ohio, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. John left this world on May 16, 2026 at the age of 83, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of John J. Palermo to show support.

As John departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though John may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy John leaves behind.

He was predeceased by: his brother Michael; and his parents, Joseph Palermo and Violet Palermo. He is survived by: his wife Mary Lou; his children, Deanna Palermo (Ike Karipides) and Joseph Palermo; his grandchildren, Thea and Sid; his son Joe; and his close friend Don Kuehn.
