David P. Yankulov
David lost his courageous battle on April 11, 2014 at his home with family by his side. Born May 9, 1945, David resided in Kenmore most of his life. He retired from Lockheed Martin with over 35 years of service. David enjoyed playing golf, bowling, darts, camping, and fishing at Shultz Lake. He most loved our dart team, the Bar Stool Fools, along with closest friends Chuck and Shari Evans.
David was preceded in death by parents, Peter and Anna Yankulov; siblings, Margie Yankulov, Linda Williams, Richard and Louis Yankulov. David is survived by wife and caregiver, Delberlena Yankulov; daughters and sons-in-law, Amie (Chris) Beans, Leigh (Wayne) Rathbun; grandchildren, Ashley and Brandyn Beans, Aaron and Jessica Rathbun; father-in-law, Frank E. Morris of WV; brothers-in-law, Al Williams and Louis Morris; sisters-in-law, Mill (Lavelle) Harris and Faith (Michael) Skelly; numerous nieces and nephews, especially Hannah Grace Morris from WV.
David was the bravest man I have ever known. Through everything that he endured, his mind and spirit always stayed uplifted. His favorite quote was "One day at a time". I shall miss you my "Honey Dew". Family would like to thank Louis Morris for being a caregiver and friend to David. Also to Heartland Hospice for the care and support David and I received during his final days. Thank you Dr. Pluskota, Kathy, Jessica, Alisa. Dave will always be remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend.
Cremation will take place. A celebration of Dave's life will be held Monday April 14 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at NEWCOMER FUNERAL HOME, 131 N. Canton Rd., Akron. Condolences may be sent to 1448 Fawler Ave, Akron, OH 44314.
