Dennis Ray Rash

Dennis Ray Rash, born on May 7, 1961, in Virginia Beach, VA, passed away peacefully on August 27, 2025, at the age of 64, at Randolph Hospice House.

Dennis was a remarkable automotive mechanic, renowned for his exceptional ability to repair anything with a motor. He was also the retired co-owner of NAPA Auto Parts in Liberty NC. His passion extended beyond his profession, as he had a deep love for motorcycles-particularly Harleys-and fast cars. Those who knew Dennis appreciated his enthusiasm and expertise in all things automotive.

A devoted husband, Dennis is survived by his loving wife of 14 years, Arey Rufty Rash. He also leaves behind his cherished daughter, Megan Lineberry of Cary; step son, Joseph Pugh and wife Alyssa of Franklinville, grandchildren, Addilyn and Beckett, his sister-in-law, Debbie Rash of Greensboro; and not to be forgotten, his beloved dogs Luca and Phil, along with his cat Saylor.

Dennis was a man who lived life with a quiet generosity, always helping others "behind the scenes." To his friends, he was the kind of companion one could always rely on-steadfast, loyal, and caring. If you were his friend, you couldn't ask for a better one.

Preceding him in death were his parents, Raymond and Vivian Brown Rash, and his brother, Tommy Rash.

The family will hold private services of remembrance at a later date. They extend special thanks to Dennis's buddies at Red Cross Store and his great friends-you know who you are-for their unwavering support and the shared laughter throughout the years.

Dennis will be dearly missed by all who knew him, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of his loved ones and the memories they shared.
