DENNIS YOUNG Obituary
On June 7, 2019, with his loving wife by his side,
Dennis Young, 75, of Canal Fulton, OH, passed from this life to premier accommodations in paradise. He will be warmly remembered as a wonderful husband, a great father, an awesome grandfather, and a loyal friend. He was engaging, fun-loving, and often the life of the party. Dennis was born June 17, 1943, in Elkton, MD. He spent his early childhood in Goody, KY, later accompanying his family to Stark County. Following his school years, he served on a destroyer in the U.S. Navy. After benefiting his country, he spent the majority of his career in logistics, piloting his beloved semi-trucks.
More valuable to Dennis than career or achievement was his love for Jesus Christ. He discovered faith and foundation at Lighthouse Tabernacle serving there for years. Over recent decades, he was incredibly active at Apostolic Church, serving in multiple roles, most recently as groundskeeper, head usher and leader of a weekly men's fellowship breakfast.
Dennis is preceded in death by parents, Bill & Meryle Young. He is survived by Martha, his wife of 36 years, children Travis (Rebecca) Miller, Mike (Denise) Young, Joe (Rhonda) Young, Carmen (Aaron) Strange, Dennis William Young, siblings Donna (Danny) Deaton, Ron (Joanne) Young, and eleven awesome grandchildren.
Visitation will be held, Friday, June 14, from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at Apostolic Church, 1717 Turkeyfoot Lake Road, Barberton, OH. A Celebration of Life service will immediately follow. Dennis will be laid to rest at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery. Arrangements by
Cox- McNulty Funeral Home, BARBERTON

To the family, you have my sincere condolences. When someone falls asleep in death (Ecclesiastes 9: 5,10) the memories we have of them become our most precious treasure. May those memories comfort you as well as Gods promise at John 6:40.

Dennis was a great friend to my husband, myself and my children who thought of him as an uncle. His laughter and kind heart will be missed. Prayers of comfort to all the family. May God be with you. Shirlene Waldrep and family

Donna and Ron,
I'm not sorry for Dennis. He has gone on to his much deserved reward. But on behalf of us seven Carpenter siblings (Penny, David, Will, Neil, Nila, Cliff, and Debra) -- your former (more or less) neighbors in the Prairie College/Canton South area -- I want to express our heartfelt condolences to you two, whom we know, and to the rest of Dennis's family and loved ones, whom we have never had the good fortune to meet. We are so sorry for your loss.

I grew up attending church (Lighthouse Tabernacle) where Dennis went. He was a special person, with a way to make everyone laugh. He was fun to be around always happy and willing to help. I have only seen him a handful of times in recent years, but when I did, he was always smiling and had a joke or two to share. Praying for his family through this difficult time.
