Paul Andrew D'Eramo

Paul Andrew D’Eramo left us on March 19, 2021, surrounded by his family and friends after a courageous and hard fought battle with cancer. Paul arrived on earth on December 26, 1966, into the loving arms of his parents, Paul J. and Patty (Sabbato) D’Eramo in Austintown, Ohio. He was quickly whisked away to Ann Arbor, Michigan where his LOVE/hate relationship for The Wolverines was instilled in him. Paul returned to Austintown with his parents to grow and be loved by his D’Eramo family. In 1978, the family moved to Alliance, Ohio. Paul was a 1985 graduate of Alliance High School where he created lifelong friendships. He competed on the 1983 undefeated Federal League champions. Paul loved football and sports. In 1990 he married Elizabeth nee Davia. From there he became an amazing father with the birth of his namesake and most cherished son, Paul William (Rachael). Soon after he graduated from Kent State University and began his career in education and coaching, with most of his career at Fairless and Alliance. During this time he welcomed his shining star Megan Elizabeth (Marcus). Paul lived a good life filled with love, laughter, and ketchup. He is survived by his sisters and best friends, Diana Madison and Daria D’Eramo; aunt, Marilyn D’Eramo; uncle, Mark (Beth) Sabbato; nephews Nathaniel (Channing) Hessberg, Jack Madison, William Rose and Thomas Madison; cousins Nick (Kristin) Sabbato and Chrissy (Shaun)McClarnon; sister-in-law Amy (Bill) Rose; and in-laws, Dan and Sandy (Ballantyne) Davia. His greatest treasures are his granddaughters, Myla Elizabeth and Mia Jean Williams. His heart burst with love for these girls. Myla saved him and Mia freed him. Paul enjoyed being with family and friends. Growing up every Sunday he would be surrounded by family and friends enjoying pasta. Outside of coaching, Paul would enjoy many hours of Sanford and Son, Mountain Monsters, hoping one day to catch his own Squatch, Shark Week, golf and time spent in Hilton Head and Naples. He spent many hours rooting and swearing at the Miami Dolphins with his closest friend, Larry Ramser.

Paul was preceded by uncles and aunts, James (Rose Marie “Debbie”) D’Eramo, John (Lori) Sabbato, and Vincy D’Eramo;  and grandparents Paul and Mary D’Eramo and Anthony ”Tut” and Patsy Sabbato.
