David Barone, formerly of Milan and residing in Fremont, passed away unexpectedly on Friday afternoon, July 21, 2023.
He was born on December 12, 1975 in Bradford, PA to Joseph R. and Barbara J. (Lutz) Barone.
He graduated from Edison High School, Milan; attended Akron University; and graduated from Lincoln Electric Welding School.
David's personality was infectious. He loved to make others laugh and could light up a room with his smile. He enjoyed both listening to and playing music, on his guitar and the piano, as well as working on his bicycles and spending time perfecting his welding technique. He was a talented artist, creating tattoos and a variety of drawings and sculptures. David enjoyed cooking for others and loved to indulge in anything sweet, especially Sour Patch Kids! He liked to snowboard, skateboard, and collect unique clothing and shoes. He was also an avid reader of just about anything and loved to talk politics with his mother and friends. Most of all, David loved his family and friends.
He is survived by his mother Barbara J. Barone, Milan; sons and stepdaughter Domenico, Vincenzo, and Madison, Sandusky; daughter Anastasia, Milan; sisters Laura (Charles) Oeder, Milan; Kate (Richard) Dimock, Albuquerque, NM; nieces Hannah and Raegan; nephews Thomas and Roman; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He is preceded in death by his father Joseph R. Barone; his infant sister Elizabeth A. Barone; maternal grandparents Eleanor and Gerald Lutz; and paternal grandparents Anna and Samuel Barone.
Friends may call on Friday, July 28 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Groff Funeral Homes & Crematory, One South Main Street, Milan. A private family service will follow. Burial will take place at St. Anthony's Cemetery in Milan at a later date.
