John Kenneth Latta

John Kenneth Latta, 70, of Monroeville, PA, passed away peacefully on February 10, 2022 at home with his family by his side after a long battle with cancer. He was born on June 6, 1951 in Niles, OH, son of the late John and Bertha (Kovalitsky) Latta.  He married Lois (Hargenrater) Latta on September 7, 1991 in Monroeville, PA.

John graduated from Derry Area High School and became a Sergeant in the United States Air Force from 1970 to 1975, serving as a 57 Fighter Weapons Wing and Procurement Specialist. He worked for over 40 years until his passing with American Financial Management, Inc. based in Rosemont, IL. He was a member of Christ the Divine Shepherd – Monroeville (formerly St. Bernadette’s Roman Catholic Church). John especially loved music, and enjoyed dancing, singing, bowling, traveling, and going to antique car cruises. He passionately loved his family and friends and never passed up the chance to spend time with them. John's young grandson Winston was the light of his life.
