Asher Kahler

Asher Jacob Kahler (also known as AJ) was born Nov. 19, 1940 to Margaret and Oliver Kahler in Nazareth, Pa.
He was an officer and combat veteran with the United States Air Force. He served for 20 years.
Upon retirement he utilized his military training in mathematics to become an educator teaching in the public school system at the junior high and high school level in Crestview, Fla., and Laurel Hill, Fla., for 15 years.
AJ passed away surrounded by his loving family Oct. 31, 2024, after a brief illness. He was 83.
He is survived by his wife of 26 years, Betsy Jane Kahler; his three adult children; his two grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and his sister, Ann Donley.
Local services were Nov. 9 at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Laurel Hill. Additional memorials in Nazareth and Laporte, Pa. will be planned at a future date.
In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to Parkinson’s Foundation (parkinson.org) in his name. This is an organization Asher felt strongly about.
