John T. Halm
January 12, 1956 - March 4, 2025

It is with great sadness that the family of John T. Halm announces his passing on March 4, 2025, at the age of 69. Born on January 12, 1956, in Fremont, Ohio, to Glenn R. Halm (affectionately known as "Mouse") and Mary Ann Recktenwald Halm, John lived a life dedicated to family, community, and service.

A proud graduate of Saint Joseph High School in 1974, John was an active and valued member of the school's golf team. His early commitment to hard work and leadership would guide him throughout his career. After high school, John began his professional journey at Croghan Colonial Bank, where he started as a teller and rose through the ranks to management. His career continued to flourish as he took on the role of employee and director of Clyde Savings Bank in 1980. In 1989, John took a leap of faith and established his own financial consulting business, John T. Halm, CFP, which he grew into the successful firm Pinnacle Capital Management, LLC in 2005.

John's passion for helping others extended beyond the world of finance. He was a devout member of Saint Joseph Parish, and previously Clyde St. Mary's where he served on the Parish Council, Finance Council, and the Knights of Columbus. His commitment to service extended to the Heart Association and the Clyde Exchange Club, where he continued to make a difference in his community.

John was proud of his family and is survived by his children: Father David Halm, C.S.C. (Goodyear, AZ), Molly (Mark) O'Farrell (Mullingar, IRE), Elizabeth (Christopher) Jude (Bedford, NH), and Caroline (Steve Counts) Halm (Sandusky, OH). He was a grandfather to Eva, Aine, Tiernan, Amelia, Tadhg, and Ivy. John is also survived by his former wife of 28 yrs Deborah Kuns (Clyde, OH). 
In addition to his children and grandchildren, John is survived by his loving brothers Bill (Laurie) Halm and Tom Halm both of Fremont, OH, along with numerous nieces and nephews. John was preceded in death by his parents.
