Dennis Frederick Grabarczyk, age 78, born on January 4, 1948, in Indianapolis, Indiana, and passed away peacefully on January 29, 2026.
Dennis proudly served his country in the United States Army from September 14, 1966, to November 30, 1968. Following his military service, he devoted 30 years of dedicated work to Roach Diagnostics before retiring.
Dennis married the love of his life, Laura McCotter, on July 13, 2019. Their marriage was filled with love, companionship, and cherished memories.
He is survived by his loving wife, Laura McCotter; his daughter, Katie Risemas, and her husband Jeff; his sisters, Terry Carns and Diana Wessenberger; and his beloved grandchildren, Delilah Risemas, Maali Morris, Michael Morris, and Milynn Morris.
Dennis enjoyed golfing, playing chess, dancing, and listening to music. He was known for his kindness, his willingness to help others, and his unwavering integrity in always keeping his word. He loved laughing and smiling, and he lived life fully—working hard and playing just as hard.
Dennis will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him and will be forever remembered.
