Gerald Dimoff 1952-2026

Jerry was born Jan. 21, 1952, in Youngstown, the son of Steve and Mary Havalo Dimoff.

Jerry worked as an auto assembler for over 35 years at General Motors Lordstown, retiring in 2004.

Jerry had many loves and interests to enjoy after retirement. He loved Chrysler and Mopar classic cars and attending car shows, especially the Hershey, Pa., car show every fall. He looked forward to his travels to Wildwood, New Jersey, and going on cruises. He enjoyed going to movies and loved going out to dinner, especially to Thanos and the Diner. His greatest joy was spending time with his grandchildren.

Jerry will always be remembered lovingly by his wife, Debbie Kostelnak Dimoff, whom he married Oct. 5, 1974; his daughter, Stacie (Joe) Belyusar; four grandchildren, Kayla and A.J. Belyusar, and twins, Olivia and Rosalie Dimoff; daughter-in-law, Allison Dimoff; sister, Mary Alyce (Kim Dyer) Dimoff; brother, Steve (Bob Hartsema) Dimoff; sisters-in-law, Patty (Steve) Raseta, whose husband he considered as a second brother, and Doreen (Dan) Fox; brother-in-law, John Kostelnak; and many loving nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, Jerry was preceded in death by his son, Steve Dimoff; and in-laws, John and Josephine Kostelnak.
