Obituary
Dennis A. Karas, 77, of Avon, Ohio passed away Thursday, February 9, 2023. He was born August 31, 1945 in Elyria, Ohio to parents Walter and Leona (nee Klingshirn) Karas.
Dennis grew up in Avon, attending St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception School and graduating from Avon High School in 1963. Following graduation he met Lee Anne Zeager and after dating a few year they were married. They settled in Avon Lake and shared over fifty years together before her passing in 2019.
Dennis was an accounting clerk for the steel mill. He enjoyed playing the accordion and was an avid television watcher, especially crime shows and documentaries. Dennis was a train chaser and enjoyed collecting them also. He was a member of the Northeast Ohio Live Steamers club. In recent years, Dennis explored his spirituality beyond the walls of the church, finding comfort in the Native American traditions. But he would say what he learned through folklore brought him full circle back to God.
Dennis is survived by his loving son Alex Karas (Amanda); dear brother George Karas (Marian); niece Rachel Karas; great-niece Brianna Breon (Daniel) and their son Lincoln. He is preceded in death by his parents; beloved wife Lee Anne Karas; brother Alan Karas; nephew Joshua Karas; and great-nephew Jacob Karas.
