Dennis Mesik 1950-2022

AUSTINTOWN — Dennis Mesik, 72, passed away Monday afternoon, July 18, 2022, at his residence, with his family by his side after fighting a long battle.

He was born Feb. 7, 1950, in Youngstown, the son of Stephen and Sophia Kurilla Mesik, and was a lifelong resident.

Dennis graduated from Chaney High School in 1968. Dennis attended Youngstown State University and received his engineering degree from Kent State University. He retired from General Motors in 2009 as a skilled tradesman.

Dennis had owned and operated gas stations in Liberty Township and Mineral Ridge. He was also a partner in a local locksmith business. He enjoyed working on computers and cars, and was an avid reader.

Dennis took pride in his yard and home doing all repairs himself. Most of all he loved to help people, no matter what was needed; he was an everyday good guy and will be missed by many.

He is survived by his wife, Linda Franco Mesik, whom he married Sept. 3, 1977; and son, Stephen and his wife, Kaitlyn Mesik of Twinsburg. He is also survived by his brothers-in-law, Joseph (Becky) Franco of Howland, Victor (Polly) Franco of Austintown and Gary (Marianne) Franco of McDonald.

Dennis was preceded in death by his parents.

Services celebrating the life of Dennis Mesik will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, July 22, 2022, at Lane Funeral Homes, Austintown Chapel. Family and friends may call from 10 to 11 a.m. Friday at the funeral home.
