Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed House Bill 107 today designating a portion of Interstate 90 (I-90) as the Cleveland Firefighter Johnny Tetrick Memorial Highway, honoring the late Johnny Tetrick, who died in the line of duty in 2022.

“Today we honor the legacy of Johnny Tetrick, who dedicated his life to helping his community,” said Governor DeWine. “It is so important to remember our brave first responders who give the ultimate sacrifice.”

HB 107, sponsored by State Representative Tom Patton (R-Strongsville), dedicates a portion of I-90 between east 72^nd street and east 105^th street in honor of Tetrick and is commemorated by roadway signs provided by the Ohio Department of Transportation.
