Dan Blazef

Dan Blazef, 59, of Ontario, passed away at the Cleveland Clinic on Sunday, July 21, 2019, surrounded by his loved ones. He was born on January 1, 1960 in Lera, Macedonia to Dimitri "Jimmy" and Slavka Blazef. He came to America with his family when he was three years old.

Dan was a generous, kind, and compassionate man. Dan embodied the spirit of a father figure, he had a knack for creating a space in which anyone would be comfortable speaking their mind, while also being able to provoke the essence of one's morality, helping those loved ones around him keep themselves strong of principle. Having been a dedicated hard worker since youth, he spent his life as a business owner at Babcock/Dimitris proudly serving Mansfield and surrounding areas too. Dan enjoyed fishing, gardening, and baking but what he enjoyed most was spending time with his family and best friend, Joe O'Hail.

Dan is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, Gorica (Micevska) Blazef; his daughter, Angelique Blazef; his grandson, Michael Buchanan; his sisters, Anica (John) Horner and Jaceda Blazef; his nephews, David, Dimitri, and Daniel Partin; his niece, Catherine Horner; and great nieces and nephews, Alexis Partin, Alana Reitler, Kimberly Partin, Jaceda Partin, and Lucas Dyer. He was preceded in death by his parents.
