Dennis Dean Graziosi was born in Jackson County, NC on December 19th, 1955. Dennis was a hard-working man that supported his family by working at Dayco for many years, until they closed. He was raised by the wonderful Alvin and Fern Watson. He was the most amazing father to his three children, sons Brandon Shane Graziosi (wife Jackie and 3 grandsons), Jeremy Baine (3 grandsons and 2 granddaughters), and daughter Amber Kevlin (husband Ross and 1 grandson). Dennis loved sweets, jalapenos, steaks and boating on Bear Lake. His only fear was snakes, and his family will never forget him picking one up accidentally, thinking it was a shoelace when he didn’t have his glasses on. He was a loyal companion, a fierce protector, and one of the purest hearts to ever live. He is preceded in death by his father Antonio Graziosi, his mother Helen Dillard, and his sister Donna Graziosi. His entire community of friends and family will sorely miss this most cherished of men.
