John Joseph Kerecz lived a life rich in accomplishments, goal-reaching, and harnessing his talents. Though he had an impressive professional and educational legacy, having worked for more than thirty-five years in engineering and technological fields, he was better known by his friends and loved ones as the owner of OSHRadio.com and as an adventurer with well-rounded and fulfilled ambitions. Kerecz also had a passion for the arts; he had authored books (nine of which are listed on Amazon), appeared in various films, and started being a part-time radio and TV personality in the early 1980s. His dynamic range of professional, thrill-seeking, and artistic experiences painted him as a dreamer with no limits.

Kerecz had an impressive repertoire of world travel experiences, having even been launched into the edge of space from Sokol Airbase in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. This endeavor was inspired by his always-present admiration of outer space, and his inability to take no for an answer when it came to the question of whether or not he could get close to it! He also wouldn’t take no for an answer when it came to the question of accomplishing other dreams; for example, he needed to undergo a hip-replacement surgery, but this did not stop him from taking a seven-country hiking trip shortly afterward. One of the countries on this trip was Tibet, and he had the pleasure of trekking across the land of temples and nature, eventually reaching a base camp at Mount Everest. Other countries on this trip included China, Turkey, Italy, and more. He fulfilled his dream of visiting the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu in 2024.

John Kerecz will be missed by everyone in the transhumanist community and all those whose lives he affected for the better.
