John B. Ullom

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John B. Ullom, son of Robert and Helen Ullom, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend, who passed away peacefully on March 24, 2025 at the age of 94.

A proud Navy veteran and Honor Flight 31 recipient, John dedicated his life to service and honor. He was a man who exemplified commitment, kindness, and integrity in everything he did. He was also a cherished member of the Masonic Lodge, where his contributions to the community and his sense of brotherhood left a lasting impact.

For 37 years, John worked at Delco GM, a place where his strong work ethic and dedication were greatly admired. In his personal life, he had many passions that brought him joy and fulfillment. He was a skilled woodworker, often found at Lakey Sawmill, crafting beautiful boxes and specialty pieces. He loved nothing more than spending time on annual fishing trips, enjoying the company of friends and family. Traveling with his wife, Joann, and their close friends brought him immense happiness. He enjoyed spending quality time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

John is survived by his loving wife of 69 years, Joann (Muncie); his brother, Fred Ullom (Chesterfield, IN); and his sons, Duane Ullom (Logansport, IN) and Jon Ullom (Chesterfield, MI). He will also be deeply missed by his grandchildren Zach (Megan) Ullom (Yorktown, IN), Kelsey (Charlie) Akers (Monticello, IN), Nicolas Duvoisin (San Diego, CA), and Brandy (John) Pewinski (Armada, Michigan); and great-grandchildren Colton Ullom, Reed Akers, and Rory Akers. He leaves behind a wide circle of family, friends, and loved ones who were fortunate to share his contagious sense of humor.

A celebration of John’s life, where we will honor his memory and his remarkable legacy, will be held on April 9, 2025 at Elm Ridge Funeral Home, Muncie, IN. Visitation from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm with memorial and graveside service to follow.
