Obituary for Dennis R. Dearbeck
Dennis R. Dearbeck, 74, passed on to eternal life on September 15, 2017 not making it to his 75th birthday, September 16th. Dennis was born to Carl and Betty Dearbeck and was raised by his beloved grandfather, Ward Huston.
Dennis served honorably in the U.S. Army and upon discharge, joined his brother Carl as an agent or American General Insurance. He retired as Stationary Engineer for Pleasant Ridge Manor in 2004. Dennis was a caring, unique, and bright guy who could fix or build just about anything including his mini helicopter that went two feet off the ground before crashing, dumping his brother, Bobby on the lawn. He built the first low-to-the-ground bike that was the talk of Presque Isle and the town of Girard. Dennis was an avid jazz music lover and enjoyed playing his saxophone to anyone who had the stamina to listen. He will now join his jazz buddies to play for our Heavenly Father. Dennis will also be with his beloved cat, Lu Lu who left his side in 2015.
Dennis is survived by his sisters, Patricia Culbertson and Beverly Dearbeck, and brothers, Carl “Buzz”, Jerry, Robert and Martin Dearbeck; many nieces and nephews; and his best friend Roger Tackett of Columbus, O.H.
Burial arrangements are being handled by the Russell C. Schmidt & Son Funeral Home, Inc. 5000 Wattsburg Rd., with private internment at Wintergreen Gorge Cemetery.
Memorials may be made to Regional Home Health and Hospice - 2564 Village Common Dr., Erie, PA 16506.
A special heartfelt thank you to Rich and Carrie of Regional Hospice for their compassionate support to help Dennis make his heavenly transition.
