Dennis Locy, age 61, passed away from a fall, hitting his head, on Thursday, May
9, 2019. Married twice, no children.
He is survived by his brothers, Dana Locy, Darin (Amy) Locy; step-dad,
Dale Yengling; good friends and neighbors, Don, Sally, his longtime
friend and companion, Sheryl Plath, and many members of the Mashek
family he was close with.
Born on April 8, 1958 in Akron, OH, to John Locy and Gloria Ann (nee Simpson) Locy Yengling. As a youth he was
an Eagle Scout, a graduate of Manchester schools, and loved the
outdoors, fishing and camping.
Dennis was also a drummer in the band "Irene & The Irishmen" having one
album published. He was skilled in factory machining, and was a fork
lift instructor.
Dennis' last few years required care in a rest home for loss of
memory, but his past memory was better. Once, he relied on his Eagle
Scout training to provide another resident with the Heimlich maneuver,
preventing that resident from choking.
There will be no visitation or services to attend and all arrangements have been entrusted to the care of Newcomer Funeral Home, Akron.
