Dennis McCallum, 77, of Akron, passed away December 27, 2023. He was born on August 31, 1946 to the late Duncan and Arline {Wiley} McCallum.
Denny was known for being hard-headed and stubborn, but those that were lucky enough will remember him for his big heart and how he would make you laugh. Denny was an avid outdoorsman that would often be found fishing, doing yard work and making sure that every car in the driveway was washed and shined. He was a lifelong Cleveland Browns fan and classic car enthusiast.
In addition to his parents, Dennis is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Mary, brothers Pete, Tom and Pat McCallum, father- and mother-in-law Ed and Lillian Scarpinito, and friend Ted Miller.
His memory will be cherished by his daughters, Megan (Jerod) Plovic and Ashley (Darren) Lloyd; his grandchildren, Lilli and Trevor Plovic and Logan Lloyd; sister Mary Crisp; brother Rich (Marty) McCallum; sisters-in-law, Becky McCallum and Judy Thomas; friend Mick Bulgrin; and a host of nieces and nephews.
