Steven Kovacs

Steven Z. Kovacs, 81, passed away January 18, 2018. He was born in Miskolc, Hungary. Formerly of the Cuyahoga Falls and Akron area, he most recently resided in Sebring, OH, with his wife and daughter. Steven was a retired self-employed master machinist, and was previously employed at National Machine, Jay-Em Corporation, and Firestone Tire and Rubber Company.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Istvan and Lillian Kovacs, and sister Lillian Krajpos. Steven is survived by his wife of 59 years, Charlotte Nagy Kovacs; son Leslie (Carol) Kovacs of Eastlake, OH; daughters Christine (Steven) Mally of Cuyahoga Falls, OH; and Julia Kovacs of Sebring, OH. He will be dearly missed by his beloved grandchildren, of whom he was extremely proud: Jessica (Chris) Crimone of Pittsburgh, PA; Peter (Sofia) Mally of Cuyahoga Falls, OH; Marissa Mally of New York, NY; Leah Mally and Christopher Mally of Cuyahoga Falls, OH. He is also survived by his brother Laszlo Kovacs of Budapest, Hungary, as well as many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests the following: Take your family out to dinner or have a nice dinner in, turn off the TV and all other devices and spend time talking to each other while you still can. Or have a game night with family and friends; have fun. If there are no family/friends around, call someone you love and talk to them, as Steven thought it was important to spend time with friends and loved ones.

At the wishes of his family, cremation has taken place. A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 10, 2018 at Northampton United Methodist Church, 852 W. Bath Road, Cuyahoga Falls, OH.
