Dion Brent Fry-Sherrod

September 28, 1977 — December 12, 2023

Dion Brent Fry-Sherrod, 46, of Akron, passed away unexpectedly at his home on December 12, 2023. He was born in Atlantic City, NJ on September 28, 1977 to Tammy (Don Hawthorne) Sherrod.

Dion was preceded in death by his beloved grandmother Josephine, uncle Rodney and cousins Reul and James.

Dion is survived by his loving children Dionna, Damonte, Jayquan, Skylar, Dai'onna and Leyonna; granddaughter Nova; mothers of his children Doretha, Dewanna, Te'Essence and Twilla; step-children Michael, Nicholas, Deonte and Brandon; step-grandchildren Passionae, Lashay, Nicholas Jr., Nahzae, Nahzire and Saniyah; siblings Donita, Darius, Lemellia, Ali, Leaisha, Reginald, Rasheed, Krystal, Mahkeeda, Shaquella and Tameez; aunts Aletha, Julia, Paulette, Alicia and Amy; uncles Bryant, Darren and James III; nephews D'wante, Semaj, James IV; only niece January; a host of extended family members and friends.

Dion was the life of the party! His loud, boisterous personality and wild sense of humor brought laughter and joy to everyone he met, and made him THE center of every room. Dion's presence was commanding, immediately recognizable, and always unforgettable.

If he considered you family, you became the most important thing in his life. Dion loved those he considered family unconditionally, and he will be incredibly missed by us all.
