Dennis (Denny) Duda

Dennis (Denny) M. Duda, age 51, passed away on April 25th, 2022, at home. He was born on June 19th, 1970, in Willoughby, Ohio to James and the late Judith Duda. Denny was a 1988 graduate of Lake Catholic High School. He was a kind, caring and giving man who expected nothing in return. He was a roller-coaster enthusiast and loved his trips to the amusement parks with his

nieces and nephews. As an avid movie buff, he had the ability to quote a line from a favorite movie at the perfect time, often giving a laugh to lighten the moment. He was also a dedicated supporter of those with special needs and participated in many events for the “Heroes Helping Those with Special Needs” organization. He was a loving son, brother, uncle, great uncle, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend to many. We will never forget his infectious smile and big, generous heart.

He is survived by his loving father James Duda, his siblings, Jim (Karen) Duda, Patty (Sandy) Burris, Kathy (Mark) Blake, and Bethann (Larry) Baker, his nieces and nephews, Jena (Frank) Ferrato, Jamie (Jamie) Hanculak, Dominic Duda, Alyssa, Andrew, Madison, and Charlie Burris, Patrick and Victoria Blake, Meghan (Michael) Chapin, Brian and Matthew Baker, and his great nieces and nephews, Olivia, Francesca, and Vincenzo Ferrato, and Giovanni Hanculak. He was proceeded in death by his mother, Judith Duda and his cherished cat, Zoey.

His family asks that you remember Denny by donating in his name to Heroes Helping Those with Special Needs, 6235 Parkwood Road, Mentor, Ohio 44060.
