John "Jack" Theodore Kaput's Obituary
John “Jack” Theodore Kaput, age 79, of Olmsted Falls, Ohio, passed away peacefully on June 24, 2025. Born on January 23, 1946, to the late Ted and Helen Kaput, Jack lived a life filled with love, laughter, service, and a deep devotion to his family and community.
Jack served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Following his military service, he built a legacy as the owner of Edge Rite Tools, which he led with pride and determination for over 40 years.
A man of many passions, Jack was happiest on the water - boating, scuba diving, and swimming - and greatly enjoyed reading, especially all things related to World War II. His quick wit, playful spirit, and sweet tooth were legendary, endearing him to everyone he met.
Above all, Jack was a devoted husband, father, papa, and great-papa. He is survived by his beloved wife, Faith Kaput; his children, Kristen (Kevin) Kaput, Heather Kaput, Cara (Nicholas) Russo, Kelly (Sean) McLaughlin, Amanda Morgan, Lauren (Nick) Day, Scott (Madie) Perry, and Stephania Kaput; his grandchildren, Kaylee (Dan), Lexie (Danny), Ella (Derek), Aubrey, Julie, Olivia, Emma, Austin, and Georgia; and his great-grandchildren, Clayton, Tara, and Aurora. He is also survived by his cherished siblings, Linda (Dr. Peter) Gordon, Terry (Diane) Kaput, Tim (Linda) Kaput, and Thomas (Marianne) Kaput. Jack was also a beloved uncle to many nieces and nephews, and a dear friend to many.
Jack will be remembered for his unwavering dependability, boundless love for his family, and his infectious sense of humor. His legacy lives on in the hearts of all who had the privilege to know him.
