Albert Cantrell Jr., 78, of Newark, Ohio, passed away June 1, 2026. Born January 10, 1948, to the late Albert Sr. and Della Cantrell, Junior spent his life making people laugh and loved telling stories.

He worked for years in the West Virginia coal mines and later loved woodworking, building things, and making messes.

Junior is reunited with his wife, Diana (Peewee). He is survived by his daughters, Michelle Cantrell (Scott) and Melissa Eppich (Josh), and leaves behind many family members who will miss his humor.

Special thanks to Ohio Hospice for their incredible care and tolerance of his antics. Please consider donating to them in his memory.

Per his wishes, there will be no boring funeral, but a lively celebration of life will be held at a later date.
