Emory R. Copas
March 28, 1934 — March 17, 2019
Emory "Em" R. Copas passed away after a lengthy illness at Trinity Community in Beavercreek, on March 17, 2019, just 11 days before his 85th birthday.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Lona Belle Copas, and his son, Tommy Copas.
He is survived by his soulmate and loving wife of 64 years, Donna Marie Copas; daughter, Tammy (Marc) Frazer; grandsons, Andrew and Alex Frazer; step-grandchildren, Michelle (Steve) Horton and Marc (Erinn) Frazer II; sister-in-law, Susie (Paul) Estes; and many loved nieces, nephews and special friends.
Em served as a Seaman in the Navy, traveling the world as a young man. He then worked for about 25 years at Dayton Tire and Rubber, until they closed, later retiring as an optician from Lenscrafters in 2002. Em enjoyed cooking, trap shooting at the A.T.A., loved fishing and being outdoors; his main focus in life was his beloved wife and family, especially his grandchildren. He will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
A sincere thank you to the many special friends and staff at Trinity Community, Beavercreek Senior center, Fairborn DaVita Dialysis, including Rex, special friend and driver for many years.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to: Humane Society of Greater Dayton, Dayton Children's Hospital and/or Beavercreek Senior Center.
