In Loving Memory of Dragan Popovich
May 28, 1981 – September 11, 2025

It is with great sadness that the family of Dragan Popovich announces his peaceful passing on September 11, 2025, at the age of 44, surrounded by his loving family.

Born in Youngstown, Ohio, Dragan was the beloved son of Vinko and Vera Popovich. He graduated from Austintown Fitch High School in 1999 and went on to attend Youngstown State University. Over the years, Dragan formed lasting friendships through his work at Rulli Brothers, H.H. Gregg, and Baird Brothers Fine Hardwoods.

Dragan was deeply devoted to his Serbian Orthodox heritage, culture, and community. He found great joy in music, spending time with his family and wide circle of close friends, and caring for his cherished dog, Sasha. He will be remembered for his generous and loving spirit, kind heart, unmistakable laugh, and sharp sense of humor.

He is survived by his parents, Vinko and Vera; his brother Stevan Popovich; his sister Sonja Popovich; his nephew Vincent Popovich (Emily, and their children). He is preceded in death by both sets of grandparents. 

Calling hours will be held on Monday, September 15, 2025, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Vaschak-Kirila Funeral Home. A viewing hour will be held from 10:00am-11:00am before a funeral service on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at 11:00 am at Old Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church, located at 420 North Raccoon Road, Austintown. The family requests that only family members go to the cemetery.

Dragan's presence, warmth, and laughter will be missed deeply by all who knew and loved him.

In lieu of flowers, memorial monetary donations may be made to the Old Holy Trinity Serbian Orthodox Church in his honor.

Vaschak-Kirila Funeral Home handled all of the arrangements for the family.
