News Death Notice
OZVATHS, Gregory B. of Centerville, passing came after a short battle with Leukemia, surrounded in love by his family and a few of his treasured friends on October 19 at Hospice of Dayton. Greg was born May 21, 1960 to Charles J. Ozvath and Beverly A. (Sparks) in Dayton. A 1978 Northmont High School graduate and then Kent State University where he met his beloved wife Michele R.

Survived by father, Charles and siblings Timothy (Cindy) and Ryan, wife, Michele and his 3 wonderful children, Austin, Madeleine, and Andrew along with numerous loved uncles, aunts and cousins. Greg's passion for life and wry sense of humor will be missed by all who knew and loved him, each and every day. One of Greg's many legacies are the countless dear friends that he cherished and held close to his heart, while touching all that knew and met him. The enchanting twinkle in his eyes and constant smile will be forever in our hearts. Greg took great pride in following in his father's footsteps and working for the family business along with his brothers, at Tools For Industry as Vice President and Salesman. Greg's family invites you to come and celebrate his life at Crossview Christian Church, Waynesville, on Saturday, October 22 at 4:00 p.m. followed by dessert.

Michele, I only met Greg once; it was at your house when we were doing the show house publicity committee. His smile was bright and his love for his family quite obvious. I believe he takes all that love with him to the next place and waits for you there. Faith,hope and love to you. Karla

To all of Greg's beloved family and friends, I am sad to know he is not with us in this world anymore, but I rejoice with having the wonderment of childhood with him. We attended O R Edgington Elementary from 5th grade to graduation in 1978, I remember fifth grade with Mr. Graff and speech class our freshman year, we always laughed and enjoyed our time together. My prayers are forever with all of you. Wanda Clayburn- Gilbert

Michele, Austin, Madeleine & Andrew, even though I never met Greg, I am shocked and saddened to hear of his death and the impact on you and your family. Too young, but the old adage, "only the good die young", surely applies here. So sorry sweet girl.

Dear Michelle and family-
Barry and I were shocked and sadden to hear of this tragedy. Your participation in our Eden Meadows community made it a better one. I will miss running into Greg and having very enjoyable conversations while mowing the yard. He was a great guy. You and your family are in our thoughts in prayers during this very difficult time.

Michele, Rich and I are thinking of you and Greg. Greg really made me laugh when we were in Key West for J & V's wedding. He is the only person who has ever prepared a Bloody Mary for me, with Vodka, that I drank before noon. During preparation, I distinctly declined Vodka. On first sip, lo and behold, Vodka was present. I said nothing and Greg just smiled. Great boat trip that day after the wedding, too. Greg was an expert captain getting that boat in at dusk. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

You will so be missed Mr. Ozvath. I will miss seeing you and your wife on walks in the neighborhood. I can't believe that you are no longer with us. You always had a smile on your face and you were such a great person.
