Adam Dean Ackerman age 47, of Galion, OH passed away on July 13, 2025 at his home surrounded by his family, staff, and roommates. He was born on May 4, 1978 and was raised by Richard and Lorna Ackerman of New Washington, OH. Adam attended Fairway-Waycraft and Chrysalis in Bucyrus.
Adam's passion for fire and rescue allowed him to make memories and friends with the local fire departments throughout Crawford County especially Galion and Bucyrus.
In addition to his mother Lorna L. Ackerman, he is survived by his siblings Doug Ackerman of Westerville, OH, Steve Ackerman of Tiro, OH., Denise Ackerman, Mitchell Ackerman, and Mikel Ackerman all of New Washington, and James Ackerman of Bucyrus. He loved his nieces Darian Crews of Ontario, OH., Desiree (Zack) Zelinko of Lakefield, MN and his nephew Cody Crews of Ocheyedan, IA., and his great nephews and niece Nash, Myles, and Livia Zelinko of Lakefield, MN. His love for his extended family of his two roommates and his staff of Tammy Buckner, Curtis Henry, and Martha Allwine is what made Adam who he was. He is preceded in death by his father Richard A. Ackerman and brother Ryan A. Ackerman.
Adam leaves a legacy of smiles, laughter, and unconditional hugs to anyone and everyone who wanted one. His passion for his favorite tv shows of Criminal Minds, Cops, and NCIS and his saying of "Where's my Pepsi" will be remembered.
A private graveside service will take place at a later date at St. John Lutheran Cemetery in New Washington, Ohio. Online condolences can be left to Adam’s family by visiting www.secorfuneralhomes.com

Adam and I went to pre-school together at Stadium Elementary School in Mansfield, Ohio. Adam was one of my first best friends on Earth. I loved him like a brother. He was one of the coolest. & funnist guys to hang out with. I know that Heaven's light shines brighter, with him up there. His joyful spirit. We'll live on, but be missed down here. Rest in peace my old friend.
